The sup 11 Li neutron halo radius from pion double charge exchange

OSTI ID:5442829
We have analzed the pion double charge exchange data for the direct population of the ground state of {sup 11}Li by the {sup 11}B({pi}{sup {minus}}, {pi}{sup +}){sup 11}Li reaction and find that the measured cross section determines the rms radius of the last two neutrons in {sup 11}Li to be 5.1{sub {minus} 0.8}{sup +0.6} fm. It is shown that the pion cross-section falls off as the sixth power of the assumed neutron halo radius, so that a radius greater than about 6 fm is ruled out. Indeed, pion double charge is found to act as an unusually sensitive probe of the properties of this exotic neutron rich nucleus. 9 refs., 2 figs.
