Scattering and reactions of halo nuclei

Abstract

In these lectures I describe some of the key features of halo nuclei and how these features require a re-think of theories required to adequately describe their collisions with stable nuclei. I provide the basic scattering theory needed to understand few-body models of halo cross sections. The ‘frozen halo’ approximation is explained in detail and applications of the theory to elastic scattering, break-up and transfer reactions are discussed.
