Matter Radii of Light Halo Nuclei
Matter Radii of Light Halo Nuclei
We reexamine the matter radii of diffuse halo nuclei, as deduced from reaction cross section measurements at high energy. Careful consideration is given to the intrinsic few-body structure of these projectiles and the adiabatic nature of the projectile-target interaction. Using ${}^{11}$Li, ${}^{11}$Be, and ${}^{8}$B as examples we show that data …
