Nuclear Halo-Like Phenomena and Short-Range Nuclear Correlation

Based on Glauber Multiple Scattering Theory, high-energy proton elasticscattering on halo-like nucleus ¹³C is studied in a single nucleon wave function with low angular momentum configurations. A great agreement with experimental data isobtained and the theoretical prediction clearly shows that ¹³Chas a neutron halo-like structure. Then, the origin and nature of nuclearhalo phenomena are explained in terms of nuclear short-range correlations.Our conclusion shows that the origin of nuclear halo-like phenomena originatesfrom short range nuclear correlation.
