Halos and related structures

Abstract

The halo structure originated in nuclear physics but is now encountered more widely. It appears in loosely bound, clustered systems where the spatial extension of the system is significantly larger than that of the binding potentials. A review is given on our current understanding of these structures, with an emphasis on how the structures evolve as more cluster components are added, and on the experimental situation concerning halo states in light nuclei.
