• Experimental overview of some nuclei, after all the theory
• Theorists…. Please interrupt and explain, if you like
• Rather light nuclei….
• Olivier will cover the heavier nuclei, later
• No equations, but some interesting phenomena…

There is no stable mass A=5 system
5Li and 5He exist as low-lying p-wave resonances
The resonances have asymmetric shapesdue to the changing barrier penetrability as afunction of the relative energy (alpha-nucleon)ANDThe lineshapedepends on the production method ,e.g. stripping from 6Li or pickup onto 4He

These A=7 nuclei are well described as orbiting clusters of α + 3He/3H
A “few-body model” (here, two-body) works very well, using free-space propertiesof the two clusters, after including Pauli approximately with nodal requirements.(Fully antisymmetrized models also exist, of course, e.g. RGM, Brink model)(Most cluster models do include full antisymmetrization.)

10C
10Be shows molecular structure,but mostly in the excited states.
10C is the analog of 10Be,with two protons replacing two valenceneutrons – do the same structures exist ?

11Be
Weakly boundSn = 0.xx MeVHalo nucleus
This is a classic single-neutron halo nucleus,where the weak binding automatically leads to a halo
Both the intruder 1/2+ ground state and the low 1/2− statehave a halo – despite the centrifugal barrier for the p1/2 state.
The halo is not pure, however, and there is a component ofthe ground state in which the deformed core is excited to 2+
and a d-wave neutron is coupled to give spin 1/2.

13Be10Li
Both 13Be and 10Li are unbound sub-systemsof bound halo systems (14Be and 11Li)
If we remove a single neutron from the bound halo systemAnd then observe the other neutron and the core nucleus,And then reconstruct the relative momentum…
Do we measure the neutron-core interaction in an accurate manner,or do we observe some vestige of the structure in the original halo…?
