Effective Field Theory for Halo Nuclei: Shallow p-Wave States
C. A. Bertulani, H. -W. Hammer, U. van Kolck
Abstract
Halo nuclei are a promising new arena for studies based on effective field theory (EFT). We develop an EFT for shallow p-wave states and discuss the application to elastic n-alpha scattering. In contrast to the s-wave case, both the scattering length and effective range enter at leading order. We also discuss the prospects of using EFT in the description of other halos, such as the three-body halo nucleus 6He.
