PROBING THE GROUND-STATE AND TRANSITION DENSITIES OF HALO NUCLEI

摘要

We investigate the use of elastic and inelastic scatterings with secondary beams of radioactive nuclei as a means to obtain information on ground-state densities and transition matrix elements to continuum states. An eikonal model is developed for this purpose by using the folding potential. In particular we discuss possible signatures of halo wavefunctions in elastic- and inelastic-scattering experiments.
