In the present paper clustering and correlations within halo systems isexplored. In particular, the application of neutron-neutron interferometry andDalitz-plot type analyses is presented through the example provided by thedissociation of 14Be. A novel approach for producing and detecting boundneutron clusters is also described. The observation of some 6 events withcharacteristics consistent with the liberation of a multineutron cluster in thebreakup of 14Be -- possibly in the channel 10Be+4n -- is discussed.Comment: Invited paper to The Yukawa International Syposium - YKIS01, Kyoto, Japan, November 2001 12 pages, 7 figure
