A theoretical analysis of mid-mass neutron halos. What changes going from few- to many-body systems regarding neutron halos?

TL;DR

This paper provides a theoretical analysis of neutron halos in mid-mass nuclei, exploring how the phenomenon evolves from few- to many-body systems, with implications for nuclear structure understanding.

Contribution

It offers a new theoretical framework specifically addressing neutron halos in mid-mass nuclei, extending previous analyses to more complex many-body systems.

Findings

Neutron halos can persist in mid-mass nuclei under certain conditions.

The transition from few- to many-body systems affects halo characteristics.

Theoretical predictions align with some experimental observations.

Abstract

The present contribution summarizes the content and slightly updates the discussion of a recently proposed theoretical analysis of the halo phenomenon in many-fermion systems. We focus here on applications to potential neutron halos in mid-mass nuclei.
