In order to constrain the largely unknown multi-neutron interactions, it is necessary to measure the relevant observables sensitive to them. One such property is the possible existence of narrow resonances related to multi-neutron cluster structures and correlations. This can be investigated by studying multi-neutron resonances close to the corresponding neutron removal thresholds in neutron-rich light nuclei. Towards this end an experiment was performed at the state-of-the-art R3B Setup in GSI, within the FAIR Phase-0 program. Quasi-free scattering (p,2p) reactions are studied in inverse kinematics where a radioactive ion "cocktail" beam is impinged on a 5cm LH2 target. Complete kinematic information of resulting reactions is provided by the large combination of detectors in the setup. In this communication, the first 2-neutron reconstruction procedure in the neutron detector NeuLAND will be discussed along with preliminary results.
