Description
Owing to the unusually large radius of halo nuclei, their interaction with a target extends to large distances, in comparison with non-halo nuclei. This property has important consequences on the calculation of the cross sections. On the other hand, halo nuclei are weakly bound, and present a low breakup threshold. Consequently, breakup channels must be included for a realistic description of the elastic cross sections.
Recent examples, involving 11Be, 9Be or 8B at energies close to the Coulomb barrier, will be presented.
