The 1$^-$ excitations of the three--body halo nucleus $^{11}$Li are investigated. We use adiabatic hyperspherical expansion and solve the Faddeev equations in coordinate space. The method of complex scaling is used to compute the resonance…
We study the $^{11}\mathrm{Li}$ and $^{22}\mathrm{C}$ nuclei at leading order (LO) in halo effective field theory (Halo EFT). Using the value of the $^{22}\mathrm{C}$ rms matter radius deduced in Ref. [1] as an input in a LO calculation, we…
The nuclei 11Be and 11Li provide paradigmatic examples of one-and two- neutron halo systems. Because the reaction 1H(11Li,9Li)3H is dominated by successive transfer, one can use the quantitative picture emerging from a nu- clear field…
Proton inelastic scattering off a neutron halo nucleus, 11Li, has been studied in inverse kinematics at the IRIS facility at TRIUMF. The aim was to establish a soft dipole resonance and to obtain its dipole strength. Using a high quality 66…

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)…
Although the neutron (n) does not carry a total electric charge, its charge and magnetization distributions represented in momentum space by the electromagnetic form factors, $F_1^{(n)} (q^2)$ and $F_2^{(n)} (q^2)$, lead to an…
A novel method to extract the $B(E1)$ strength of a weakly bound nucleus from experimental Coulomb dissociation data is proposed. The method makes use of continuum discretized coupled channels (CDCC) calculations, in which both nuclear and…

The phenomenon of core excitation in the breakup of a two-body halo nucleus is investigated. We show that this effect plays a significant role in the reaction dynamics and, furthermore, its interference with the valence excitation mechanism…
We investigate the Coulomb breakup of $^{11}$Be halo nuclei on a heavy target from intermediate (70 MeV/nucleon) to low energies (5 MeV/nucleon) within the non-perturbative time-dependent approach. The convergence of the computational…
First results of an analysis to determine contribution of decays of the unstable $^{8}$Be and $^{9}$B nuclei and the Hoyle 3$\alpha$-state to dissociation of $^{14}$N $\to$ 3He (+H) are presented. As the research material, layers of nuclear…
We calculated the energy spectra of the neutron-rich He $\Lambda$ hypernuclei with $A=6$ to 9 within the framework of an $\alpha + \Lambda +Xn$ ($X=1$--4) cluster model using the cluster orbital shell model. The employed constituent…
Halo effective field theory (Halo-EFT) has proved to be very efficient for describing halo nuclei within models of nuclear reactions. Its order-by-order expansion scheme enables us to single out the structure observables that are probed in…

The study of the hyperfine anomaly of neutron rich nuclei, in particular, neutron halo nuclei, can give a very specific and unique way to measure their neutron distribution and confirm a halo structure. The hyperfine structure anomaly in…
In this paper we study the energy spectra and related parallel momentum distributions of the neutrons from the breakup of 11Be. Earlier papers on transfer to the continuum reactions have shown that the breakup amplitude reduces to a simple…
The observation of large E1 strength near threshold in the electromagnetic dissociation of 11Li poses a fundamental question: Is the large E1 strength due to the threshold or is it due to a low lying E1 state? Such molecular cluster states…
