<strong>Halo</strong> nuclei and Quantum Mechanics<br />
A nucleon inside a nucleus is characterized by its wave function Y.<br />
ψ<br />
The probability of finding<br />
the nucleon at r is | Y(r) 2 |.<br />

As one adds many<br />
neutrons to a<br />
nuclear system<br />
the potential well<br />
gets shallower and<br />
the wavefunction<br />
extends radially<br />
