On the Cover

Relative energy spectrum of the ⁶He + n system, showing on the left a newly observed ⁷He excited-state resonance at I^{^π} = 1/2^?. This state is interpreted to be a neutron in a p_1/2 orbital coupled to the ⁶He ground state. The experimentally determined position of this resonance is in reasonable agreement with recent quantum Monte Carlo calculations of the ⁷He system. The energies shown are in MeV.
