11Li is a Borromean nucleus, where two out of three objects as 9Li + n and two neutrons independently do not form bound systems. Two neutrons should form a di-neutron cluster in the nuclear field generated by the 9Li core nucleus. We treat…
The Borromean $^6$He nucleus is an exotic system characterized by two `halo' neutrons orbiting around a compact $^4$He (or $\alpha$) core, in which the binary subsystems are unbound. The simultaneous reproduction of its small binding energy…
We analyze the Coulomb breakup cross sections of $^{11}$Li and $^6$He nuclei using a three-body model with a density-dependent contact interaction. We show that the concentration of the B(E1) strength near the threshold can be well…
We investigate the consistency of the measured charge radius and dipole response of $^{11}$Li within a three-body model. We show how these observables are related to the mean square distance between the $^9$Li core and the center of mass of…

In this paper we calculate reaction and breakup cross sections for the two- neutron halo nucleus of $^{11}$Li using the optical limit of Glauber theory. Calculations are presented and compared to experimental data at 0.8 and 0.28 GeV/u on a…
We propose a simple schematic model for two-neutron halo nuclei. In this model, the two valence neutrons move in a one-dimensional mean field, interacting with each other via a density-dependent contact interaction. We first investigate the…
We study the two-neutron correlations in the ground state of the weakly-bound two-neutron halo nucleus $^{22}$C sitting at the edge of the neutron-drip line and also in the unbound nucleus $^{26}$O sitting beyond the neutron dripline. For…
An analytical model, recently developed to study the electromagnetic dissociation (EMD) energy spectra of two-neutron halo nuclei, is applied to 11-Li and 14-Be. We find that a reliable set of experimental data on EMD could help to resolve…
Recently, the energy spectrum of $^{10}$Li was measured upto 4.6 MeV, via one-neutron transfer reaction d($^{9}$Li, p)$^{10}$Li. Considering the ambiguities on the $^{10}$Li continuum spectrum with reference to new data, we report the…
The neutron pairing correlation and the soft dipole excitation in medium-mass nuclei near drip-line are investigated from a viewpoint of the di-neutron correlation. Numerical analyses by means of the coordinate-space HFB and the continuum…
We study halo nuclei using a two-frequency shell-model approach employing wave functions of two different oscillator constants $\hbar\omega_{in}$ and $\hbar\omega_{out}$, the former for the inner orbits and the latter for the halo (outer)…
We investigate the three-body Coulomb breakup of a two-neutron halo nucleus $^{11}$Li. We use the coupled-channel $^9$Li + $n$ + $n$ three-body model, which includes the coupling between last neutron states and the various $2p$-$2h$…
A renormalized three-body model with zero-range potential is used to estimate the mean-square radii of three-body halo nuclei and molecular systems. The halo nuclei ($^6$He, $^{11}$Li, $^{14}$Be and $^{20}$C) are described as point-like…
Using the complex scaling method, the low-lying three-body resonances of $^6$He, $^6$Li, and $^6$Be are investigated in a parameter-free microscopic three-cluster model. In $^6$He a 2$^+$, in $^6$Li a 2$^+$ and a 1$^+$, and in $^6$Be the…
Halo nuclei are excellent examples of few-body systems consisting of a core and weakly-bound halo nucleons. Where there is only one nucleon in the halo, as in 11Be, the many-body problem can be reduced to a two-body problem. The…
We solve the coordinate space Faddeev equations in the continuum. We employ hyperspherical coordinates and provide analytical expressions allowing easy computation of the effective potentials at distances much larger than the ranges of the…
