“…The data are compared with previous direct neutron capture measurements by Imhof et al [11] (open blue circles), Nagai et al [13] (solid green triangle), Heil et al [15] (solid red square), and another more recent measurement by Nagai et al [42]), and Rupak and Higa (blue short-dashed line, [43]). The best fit to the data is shown by the black solid curve.…”

The applicability of Coulomb dissociation reactions to determine the cross section for the inverse neutron capture reaction was explored using the reaction 8 Li(γ,n) 7 Li. A 69.5 MeV/nucleon 8 Li beam was incident on a Pb target, and the outgoing neutron and 7 Li nucleus were measured in coincidence. The deduced (n,γ) excitation function is consistent with data for the direct capture reaction 7 Li(n,γ) 8 Li and with low-energy effective field theory calculations.

“…EFT in fact gives a precise prescription of how to improve calculations [52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60]. Applications of EFT to solar nuclear reactions and to other stellar evolution in general have been reported in numerous works (see, e.g., [61][62][63][64]. For example, calculations of radiative capture reactions using EFT and lattice gauge theory have been reported (see e.g., Refs.…”

In this review we discuss the current status of research in nuclear physics which is being carried out in different centers in the World. For this purpose we supply a short account of the development in the area which evolved over the last 9 decades, since the discovery of the neutron. The evolution of the physics of the atomic nucleus went through many stages as more data become available. We briefly discuss models introduced to discern the physics behind the experimental discoveries, such as the shell model, the collective model, the statistical model, the interacting boson model, etc., some of these models may be seemingly in conflict with each other, but this was shown to be only apparent.The richness of the ideas and abundance of theoretical models attests to the important fact that the nucleus is a really singular system in the sense that it evolves from two-body bound states such as the deuteron, to few-body bound states, such as 4 He, 7 Li, 9 Be etc. and up the ladder to heavier bound nuclei containing up to more than 200 nucleons. Clearly statistical mechanics, usually employed in systems with very large number of particles, would seemingly not work for such finite systems as the nuclei, neither do other theories which are applicable to condensed matter. The richness of nuclear physics stems from these restrictions. New theories and models are presently being developed. Theories of the structure and reactions of neutron-rich and proton-rich nuclei, called exotic nuclei, halo nuclei, or Borromean nuclei, deal with the wealth of experimental data that became available in the last 35 years. Further, nuclear astrophysics and stellar and Big Bang nucleosynthesis have become a more mature subject. Due to limited space, this review only covers a few selected topics, mainly those with which the authors have worked on. Our aimed potential readers of this review are nuclear physicists and physicists in other areas, as well as graduate students interested in pursuing a career in nuclear physics.

“…Halo EFT has recently been applied to describe the structure and reactions of many known and predicted one-and two-neutron halo systems. For oneneutron halos it essentially reproduces the effective range expansion, but their electromagnetic structure and reactions can be predicted [15][16][17][18][19][20]. Moreover, the natural accuracy limits of cluster models can be estimated from the order at which local gauge invariant couplings to the currents appear.…”

Few-Body Universality in Halo Nuclei

Abstract. Few-body systems with resonant S-wave interactions show universal properties which are independent of the interaction at short distances. These properties include a geometric spectrum of three-and higher-body bound states and universal correlations between few-body observables. They can be observed on a wide range of scales from hadrons and nuclei to ultracold atoms. In this contribution, we focus on few-body universality in halo nuclei which can be considered as effective few-body systems consisting of halo nucleons and a core. This concept provides a unifying framework for halo nuclei with calculable corrections. Recent progress in this field with an emphasis on the possibility of finding Efimov states in halo nuclei is discussed.
