The sup 11 Li neutron halo radius from pion double charge exchange

PDF Version Also Available for Download.

Description

We have analzed the pion double charge exchange data for the direct population of the ground state of {sup 11}Li by the {sup 11}B({pi}{sup {minus}}, {pi}{sup +}){sup 11}Li reaction and find that the measured cross section determines the rms radius of the last two neutrons in {sup 11}Li to be 5.1{sub {minus} 0.8}{sup +0.6} fm. It is shown that the pion cross-section falls off as the sixth power of the assumed neutron halo radius, so that a radius greater than about 6 fm is ruled out. Indeed, pion double charge is found to act as an unusually sensitive probe of … continued below
