Spatial distribution of two valence neutrons in the excited state.

Caption

Reflecting the valence neutron distribution patterns in ²²C’s Efimov-like excited state, the double-peak and extended distribution features  embody s-d orbital mixing,  serving as the  basis for the identification and characteristic analysis of this excited state’s properties.
