Halo structure of neutron-rich 11Li and 17B exotic nuclei

The ground-state properties like the nuclear densities and the root mean square radii for exotic neutron-rich nuclei 11Li and 17B have been investigated using the Skyrme-Hartree–Fock and symmetrized Woods-Saxon model calculations. The calculated results are compared with available experimental data. It was found that a common feature of the neutron and matter densities for above selected exotic nuclei is the long tail behavior. The longitudinal and transverse elastic form factors for these exotic nuclei are also reported.
