The ground state of the neutron unbound nucleus 26O is speculated to have a lifetime in the pico-second regime. In order to determine the decay lifetime of the 26O ground state with high sensitivity and precision, a new method has been applied. The experiment was performed in December 2016 at the Superconducting Analyzer for MUlti-particle from RadioIsotope Beams (SAMURAI) at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF) at RIKEN. A 27F beam was produced in the fragment separator BigRIPS and impinged on a W/Pt target stack where 26O was produced. The ratio of the number of decays happening inside and outside of the target will change according to the lifetime. Thus, the velocity difference between the decay neutrons and the fragment 24O delivers a characteristic spectrum from which the lifetime can be extracted. In the report, the experimental setup and method are introduced and the current analysis status is presented.
