- Title
Describing one- and two-neutron halos in effective field theory.
- Authors
PHILLIPS, DANIEL
- Abstract
In this paper, the recent work our group has undertaken on effective field theory (EFT) analyses of experimental data pertaining to one- and two-neutron halo nuclei is discussed. The cases of C and Li (one-neutron halos) and C (two-neutron halo) are considered. For C and Li electromagnetic processes, such as Coulomb dissociation and radiative capture are considered. In the C system the way in which the measured matter radius can be used to derive constraints on the two-neutron separation energy of this very neutron-rich system is shown. In each case the 'Halo EFT' ability to correlate different experimental observables with one another, in a model-independent manner, and up to an accuracy that is determined by the separation of scales in the halo system is shown.
