Abstract
We investigate the boson star with the self-interacting scalar field as a model of galactic halos. The model has slightly increasing rotation curves and allows wider ranges of the mass() and coupling() of the halo dark matter particle than the non-interacting model previously suggested(ref.\cite{sin1}). Two quantities are related by .
