摘要
We have analyzed the pion-induced double-charge-exchange data for the direct population of the ground state of Li-11 by the B-11(pi-,pi+) Li-11 reaction. We find that the measured cross section determines the rms radius of the last two neutrons in Li-11 to be 5.1(-0.9)+0.6 fm, which corresponds to a total neutron rms radius for the nucleus of 3.28(-0.33)+0.24 fm. We show that for large assumed neutron-halo radii the cross section decreases as the radius of the halo to the inverse sixth power and that a radius of 12 fm leads to a cross section which is 3 orders of magnitude smaller than that measured.
