Abstract

⁶He has a cluster structure with a tight ⁴He (α) core surrounded by two loosely bound neutrons (n) making it a halo nucleus. The leading-order (LO) Halo Effective Field Theory (EFT) [1, 2] calculations using momentum-space Faddeev equations pertinent to a bound ⁶He were carried out in [3]. In this work, we investigate ⁶He up to next-to-leading order (NLO) within Halo EFT.
