Zz. Ren et al., RELATIVISTIC MEAN-FIELD DESCRIPTION OF A PROTON HALO IN THE FIRST EXCITED (1 2)(+) STATE OF F-17/, Physical review. C. Nuclear physics, 57(5), 1998, pp. 2752-2755
The newly discovered proton halo in the first excited (1/2)(+) state o
f F-17 [R. Morlock ct al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 3837 (1997)] is invest
igated in the nonlinear relativistic mean-field model. It is shown tha
t this model, without introducing any specifically adjusted parameters
, can reproduce well not only the ground state properties of F-17 but
also the proton halo in the excited (1/2)(+) state. The possibility of
the existence of a proton halo in the neighboring nucleus Ne-18 is al
so discussed. [S0556-2813(98)00905-4].
