Probing Halo and Molecular States in Light, Neutron-Rich Nuclei

Abstract

Selected topics on halo and molecular states in light, neutron-rich nuclei are discussed. In particular, work on $x\alpha$:X$n$ structures is briefly reviewed. The use of proton radiative capture as a probe of clustering is also presented through the example provided by the $^6$He(p,$\gamma$) reaction.
