Problems to be clarified by means of redioactive ion beams provided by the ACCULINNA-2 separator

Fragment separator ACCULINNA-2 has been built in the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear reactions (JINR, Dubna). It is timely now to choose meaningful and challenging objectives for experiments dedicated to the study of light drip-line nuclei. Considerable interest makes the search for the minor $2p$-decay branch of the first excited state of $^{17}$Ne. The knowledge on the $Γ_{2p}/Γ_γ$ width ratio for this excited state is of considerable interest because the reverse process of simultaneous two-proton radiative capture could be a bypass for the $^{15}$O "waiting point" occurring in the rp-process of nucleosynthesis. Accumulation of high-statistics data for the $^{10}$He excitation spectrum populated in the $^2$H($^8$He,$p$)$^9$He and $^3$H($^8$He,$p$)$^{10}$He reactions, as well as the study of cross-check reactions made with the $^{11}$Li and $^{14}$Be beams, will make an effective way to clarify the succession of $^{10}$He excited states. A hot topic beyond the neutron drip line makes the observation of results capable to elucidate the low-energy resonance states anticipated for the $4n$ decay of $^{7}$H. The RIB beams provided by ACCULINNA-2 will allow one to perform experiments where luminosity coming to a level of more than $2 \times 10^{26}$ cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ will be achievable in experiments aimed study of the $^2$H($^8$He,$^3$He)$^7$H and $^2$H($^{11}$Li,$^6$Li)$^7$H reactions.
