Electromagnetic properties of the Be-11 nucleus in Halo EFT
arXiv:1001.1511 · doi:10.1051/epjconf/20100306002
Abstract
We compute electromagnetic properties of the Be-11 nucleus using an effective field theory that exploits the separation of scales in this halo system. We fix the parameters of the EFT from measured data on levels and scattering lengths in the Be-10 plus neutron system. We then obtain predictions for the B(E1) strength of the 1/2^+ to 1/2^- transition in the Be-11 nucleus. We also compute the charge radius of the ground state of Be-11. Agreement with experiment within the expected accuracy of a leading-order computation in this EFT is obtained. We also indicate how higher-order corrections that affect both s-wave and p-wave Be-10-neutron interactions will affect our results.
