The Neutron Halo Structure of 11Be and 14Be Nuclei Studied by the Binary Cluster Model

Abstract

We have calculated some of the basic structural properties such as the ground state proton, neutron and matter densities and elastic form factors of halo nuclei namely, 11 Be and 14 Be using the binary cluster model (BCM) within the Gaussian and harmonic oscillator wave functions. The halo nuclei have been considered as a compact core with loosely bound valence neutron(s) forming the halo. The comparison between the calculated and experimental matter density distributions supports the halo structure for 11 Be [ 14 Be] where the valence one neutron [two neutrons] occupy the 1p1/2 [(2s1/2) 2 ] orbital. We have also calculated the reaction cross sections () for these nuclei using the Glauber model with an optical limit approximation at low and high energies. The calculated () of these nuclei give a good description of experimental data at both low and high energies.

Study of the Exotic Structure of Neutron-Rich 14B and 17C Nuclei Using the Binary Cluster Model

“…The long tail performance was clearly noticed in the calculated neutron and matter density distributions of these nuclei. Daham and Abdullah [8] calculated some of the basic structural properties such as the ground state proton, neutron and matter densities and elastic form factors of halo nuclei namely, 11 Be and 14 Be using the BCM within the Gaussian and HO wave functions. They also calculated the for these nuclei using the Glauber model with an optical limit approximation at low and high energies.…”
