Abstract
Halo and cluster structure in nuclei are among the most exciting phenomena of contemporary nuclear physics. Some light proton and neutron-rich nuclei such as 6He, 8B, 10C, 11Li, 11Be, 15C and 17F, can exhibit large radial extension and exotic structures in which the valence nucleons extend outside the binding potential. The possibility of producing radioactive beams out of these nuclei of…
