Abstract

Using a simple model based on the knowledge of spherical and deformed Woods-Saxon potentials, it is shown that the recent observation of halo phenomena in 29^{29}F can be interpreted as an evidence for the prolate deformation of the ground state of 29^{29}F. The prolate deformation is the result of the shell structure, which is unique in one-neutron resonant levels, in particular near degeneracy of the neutron 1f7/2f_{7/2} and 2p3/2p_{3/2} resonant levels, together with the strong preference of prolate shape by the proton number ZZ = 9. On the other hand, in oxygen isotopes spherical shape is so much favored by the proton number ZZ = 8 that the presence of possible neutron shell-structure may not make the system deformed. Thus, the strong preference of particular shape by the proton numbers 8 and 9, respectively, together with a considerable amount of the energy difference between the neutron 1d3/21d_{3/2} and 2s1/22s_{1/2} orbits in oxygen isotopes seems to play an important role in the phenomena of oxygen neutron drip line anomaly, as was suggested by H. Sakurai {\it et al.} in 1999.
