Abstract
This lecture will not aim to provide an exhaustive review of the field of halo nuclei, but rather will outline some of the theoretical techniques that have been used and developed, both in structure and reaction studies, over the past decade to understand their properties. A number of review articles have recently appeared in the literature [1-10] which the interested reader can then go to armed with a basic understanding of how the theoretical results were produced.
