Charge density distributions and related form factors in neutron-rich light exotic nuclei

Abstract

Charge form factors corresponding to proton density distributions in exotic nuclei, such as ${}^{6,8}$He, ${}^{11}$Li, ${}^{17,19}$B and ${}^{14}$Be are calculated and compared. The results can be used as tests of various theoretical models for the exotic nuclei structure in possible future experiments using a colliding electron-exotic nucleus storage ring. The result of such a comparison would show the effect of the neutron halo or skin on the proton distributions in exotic nuclei.
