摘要
Within the complex-energy configuration-interaction framework, we study correlations of valence neutrons to explain the behavior of charge radii in neutron halo nuclei He-6,He-8. We find that the experimentally observed decrease of the charge radius between He-6 and He-8 is caused by a subtle interplay between three effects: dineutron correlations, a spin-orbit contribution to the charge radius, and a core swelling effect. We demonstrate that two-neutron angular correlations in the 2(1)(+) resonance of He-6 differ markedly from the ground-state correlations in He-6,He-8. Finally, we discuss the impact of the neutron threshold position and valence neutron correlation energy on the neutron radius, i.e., the pairing-antihalo effect.
