Effective field theories have been successful in describing nuclei up to the alpha particle but face significant challenges for larger nuclei due to leading-order instabilities. These issues can be addressed with the introduction of a fake…
Nuclear halos emerge as new degrees of freedom near the neutron and proton driplines. They consist of a core and one or a few nucleons which spend most of their time in the classically-forbidden region outside the range of the interaction.…
