Atomic Nucleus With Halo: Scientists Measure Size Of One-Neutron Halo With Lasers For First Time

ScienceDaily (Mar. 4, 2009) — Atomic nuclei are normally compact structures defined by a sharp border. About twenty-five years ago, it was discovered at the University of California in Berkeley that there are exceptions to this picture: Certain exotic atomic nuclei contain particles that shear off from the central core and create a cloud, which surrounds the central core like a 'heiligenschein' or halo.
