Description

A new reaction observable is presented to study exotic loosely-bound structures, such as halo nuclei. It consists of the ratio of two angular distributions, e. g. one for breakup and one for elastic scattering. This ratio is nearly independent of the reaction mechanism and is very sensitive to the projectile structure. It can be directly compared to the halo form factor predicted by an adiabatic description of the reaction. This new ratio method is illustrated on the particular case of 11Be, the archetypal one-neutron halo nucleus, impinging on Pb at 69 A*MeV and C at 67 A*MeV
