A short review of the present knowledge of the nucleons distribution in nuclei is given. A proposal is made about a possible measurements of the neutron distribution through polarized electron scattering off nuclei.
The interaction of neutrons and nuclei at low energies may potentially lead to scattering lengths several orders of magnitude larger than the effective range of the interaction, well beyond the nuclear scale. If such cases existed, they…
