[en] In a Coulomb dissociation of ¹¹Li the complete kinematics were measured. From the electric dipole excitation spectrum and from an observed systematic excess of ⁹Li velocity above neutron velocity, it is concluded the proposed soft dipole mode is not present. The ⁹Li and neutron momentum distributions in the ¹¹Li rest frame are fitted by a phase space model rather than a dineutron model
