Research on the halo in $^{31}$Ne with complex momentum representation method

Abstract

Halo is one of the most interesting phenomena in exotic nuclei especially for $^{31}$Ne, which is deemed to be a halo nucleus formed by a $p-$wave resonance. However, the theoretical calculations don't suggest a $p-$wave resonance using the scattering phase shift approach or complex scaling method. Here, we apply the complex momentum representation method to explore resonances in $^{31}$Ne. We have calculated the single-particle energies for bound and resonant states together with their evolutions with deformation. The results show that the $p-$wave resonances appear clearly in the complex momentum plane accompanied with the $p-f$ inversion in the single-particle levels. As it happens the $p-f$ inversion, the calculated energy, width, and occupation probabilities of major components in the level occupied by valance neutron support a $p-$wave halo for $^{31}$Ne.
