Abstract

One-neutron halo nuclei, composed by a weakly-bound particle coupled to a core nucleus, are studied within a particle-plus-core model. A semi-microscopic method to generate the two-body Hamiltonian of such a system, including core excitation, is proposed. The method consists in generating the spin-independent part of the valence-core interaction using a single-folding procedure, convoluting a realistic nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction with the core transition densities. The latter are calculated with the Antisymetrized Molecular Dynamics (AMD) method. The prescription is applied to the well known halo nucleus, 11^{11}Be, as a test case. The results show an important predictive power that opens a door to the understanding of other lesser known halo nuclei. In order to show the potential usefulness of the method, it is applied to analyze the structure of 19^{19}C.
