Proton halo of $^8$B in a microscopic model

Nuclear Theory 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

The experimentally predicted existence of a proton halo in 8^8B is confirmed by dynamical microscopic multiconfiguration cluster model calculations. The thickness of the proton halo in 8^8B is 0.5 fmfm while in 8^8Li a 0.4 fmfm thick neutron halo has been found. It is shown that the huge quadrupole moment of 8^8B partly comes from the very distortable 7^7Be core.
