Abstract.

Lithium-11 is a showcase of neutron halos and has been providing new insight to nuclear structure researches. Recently, an isoscalar resonance at low excitation energy (\( E_\mathrm{x} \sim 1\) MeV) has been confirmed by the development of a low-energy high-intensity beam of 11Li at TRIUMF. By inelastic scattering measurements \( (\mathrm{p}, \mathrm{p}^{\prime})\) and \( (\mathrm{d}, \mathrm{d}^{\prime})\) with inverse kinematics, the first excited state of 11Li has been studied in detail and an isoscalar nature of the transitions has been confirmed and a strong transition amplitude has been observed indicating the soft-resonance of 11Li. Those recent experimental results on the excitation of the soft resonance are described and then recent theoretical developments based on the four-body continuum-discretized coupled-channels 11Li + p system are presented together with a brief history of the resonance search in 11Li.
