Book Description
This book is a M.Sc. thesis in theoretical nuclear physics. It is supervised by the professors of theoretical nuclear physics at faculty of Science, Cairo university: M. Y. M. Hassan, M. Y. H. Farag, and E. H. Esmael. The elastic scattering and breakup of neutron halo nuclei are studied in this work. The halo nuclei exhibit a strong cluster structure and anomalously large matter radii. Their separation energies of the halo neutrons are very low, so they can easily broken. These nuclei are so short lived that these cannot be used as targets. Instead, direct reactions can be done in inverse kinematics. The optical potential is constructed only from the framework of the folding model. It has few fitting parameters and give good agreement with the cross section data. Thus, it is not necessary to introduce a large number of arbitrary fitting parameters as done in the phenomenological potentials. Different densities for the halo nuclei are used and tested. The parameters of the density-dependent term are adjusted to fulfill saturation of nuclear matter. The breakup effect is studied by adding a dynamical polarization potential with different forms to the "bare" optical potential.

Book Description
This book presents an overview of the different few-body techniques developed in nuclear physics and their applications to explore the structural properties of neutron-rich unstable nuclei, the so-called halo nuclei. Formal theory of two- and three-body scattering are discussed in a compact and abridged form to initiate the beginners who want to investigate the problems of halo nuclei within the framework of three-body models. Readers gain in-depth knowledge about the methods involved to solve the two- and three-body scattering problem and a special focus is put on the Faddeev approach. In this sense, the authors address both the graduate students and senior researchers. Subsequently, a detailed analysis of the Efimov effect in three-body systems is presented and the search for the effect in atomic nuclei, both Borromean and non-Borromean is addressed. The book also presents a detailed account of how to analyze, within the framework of a 3-body approach and using realistic short range forces, the structural properties of halo nuclei. Finally, the authors discuss the recent progress in effective field theory by setting up the integral equations for 3-body scattering and applying it to study low energy scattering of neutrons off halo nuclear targets.

Book Description
While neutron halos were discovered 30 years ago, this is the first book written on the subject of this exotic form of nuclei that typically contain many more neutrons than stable isotopes of those elements. It provides an introductory description of the halo and outlines the discovery and evidence for its existence. It also discusses different theoretical models of the halo's structure as well as models and techniques in reaction theory that have allowed us to study the halo. This is written at a level accessible to graduate students starting a PhD in nuclear physics. Halo nuclei are an exotic form of atomic nuclei that contain typically many more neutrons than stable isotopes of those elements. To give you a famous example, an atom of the element lithium has three electrons orbiting a nucleus with three protons and, usually, either 3 or 4 neutrons. The difference in the number of neutrons gives us two different isotopes of lithium, Li6 and Li7. But if you keep adding neutrons to the nucleus you will eventually reach Li11, with still 3 protons (that means it's lithium) but with 8 neutrons. This nucleus is so neutron-rich that the last two are very weakly bound to the rest of the nucleus (a Li9 core). What happens is a quantum mechanical effect: the two outer neutrons float around beyond the rest of the nuclear core at a distance that is beyond the range of the force that is holding them to the core. This is utterly counterintuitive. It means the nucleus looks like a core plus extended diffuse cloud of neutron probability: the halo. The author of the book, Jim Al-Khalili, is a theoretician who published some of the key papers on the structure of the halo in the mid and late 90s and was the first to determine its true size. This monograph is based on review articles he has written on the mathematical models used to determine the halo structure and the reactions used to model that structure.

Book Description
Since the mid-1980s increasing effort has been put into light exotic nuclei, that is light nuclei of unusual composition. The research of the exotic nuclei began with the advent of accelerated beams of such nuclei. This new technique has revitalized nuclear physics, and the facilities producing radioactive ion beams now offer opportunities for pion

Book Description
In this thesis, we study low energy capture reactions and neutron-deuteron elastic scattering using halo effective field theory (EFT). At low energy, EFT provides a general framework to analyze physical systems regarding as an expansion of short-distance over large distance scales. We provide a model-independent calculation for neutron capture on carbon-14, radiative capture of 3He-4He, radiative capture of 3H-4He, and neutron-deuteron (n-d) doublet channel elastic scattering using halo EFT. These reactions play a significant role in the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen (CNO) cycle, solar neutrino flux measurement, lithium production, and big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) in the early universe. The cross section is calculated for radiative neutron capture in carbon-14 using halo EFT. This reaction is slowest in the CNO cycle, and it acts as a bottleneck in the production of heavier nuclei A greater than 14. The capture contribution is different from Brett-Wigner resonance because of interference between resonant and non-resonant contribution. Also, we calculated, electromagnetic form factors for one-neutron halo nuclei such as carbon-15, beryllium-11, and carbon-19 using EFT. The electromagnetic form factors depend on the nucleon separation energy, effective range, and the two-body current. The EFT expressions are presented to leading order (LO) for 15C and next-to-leading order (NLO) for 11Be and 19C We also calculated astronomical S-factor for 3He-4He and 3H-4He radiative capture reactions. The low energy S-factor for these reactions are important to understand the Li problem and neutrino physics. At the LO, the capture amplitude contains the initial state s-wave strong and Coulomb interactions summed to all orders. The NLO contribution comes from non-perturbative Coulomb interaction. Our calculated astrophysical S-factor for 3He-4He is slightly above the average compared to the other measurement and prediction but consistent within current error bars. The S-factor for 3H-4He is also compatible with the experimental extrapolation. Finally, we studied doublet channel n-d scattering using halo EFT. A two dimer halo EFT is developed to describe the virtual state and three-body bound state in n-d scattering. We show the connection between virtual state and three-body bound state using S-matrix analysis and phase shift analysis which is supported by the Efimov plots.
