Momentum distributions in halo nuclei

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Hadrons and Nuclei

Abstract

From the analogy between the break-up of weakly bound, neutron-rich nuclei and the phenomenon of optical diffraction, it is possible to formulate a model for the momentum distribution of both the core and the valence neutrons of halo nuclei which displays a simple dependence on nuclear structure parameters. The model is applied to the analysis of reactions where11Be,11Li and14Be impinge on12C, providing an overall account of the experimental findings and predictions for further measurements.
