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 propose to search for neutron halo isomers populated via $\gamma$-capture in stable nuclei with mass numbers of about A=140-180 or A=40-60, where the $4s_{1/2}$ or $3s_{1/2}$ neutron shell model state reaches zero binding energy. These…

In a decade-and-a-half old experiment, Raabe et al.(Nature 431 (2004) 823), had studied fusion of an incoming beam of halo nucleus $^{6}He$ with the target nucleus $^{238}U$. We extract a new interpretation of the experiment, different from…
Cross sections of $^{120}$Sn($\alpha$,$\alpha$)$^{120}$Sn elastic scattering have been extracted from the $\alpha$ particle beam contamination of a recent $^{120}$Sn($^6$He,$^6$He)$^{120}$Sn experiment. Both reactions are analyzed using…
