The presence of low-lying 1[ital s][sub 1/2] virtual state in the [ital n]+[sup 9]Li system, when included in Faddeev three-body calculations, has a pronounced effect on the structure of the [sup 11]Li halo. The resulting [sup 9]Li momentum distributions, calculated in the Serber model, have a narrow width comparable with the experimental data. The structure of [sup 11]Li would then have nearly 50% of [ital s]-wave motion between the neutrons and the core. The three-body system may also approximately fulfill the conditions for the appearance of Efimov states, and there may exist low-lying excited states near the breakup threshold.
