Since the discovery of the neutron halos, they have gained extensive attention of the nuclear physics community. Particularly two-neutron halo systems, consisting of a core and two weakly bound valence neutrons, demand a three-body description with proper treatment of continuum. The stability of such three-body ($\rm{core}+n+n$) system is linked to the continuum spectrum of the two-body...
Motivated by the recent experimental observation of an extremely large scattering length for the n-17B system [1], we present a model describing the n-17B virtual state and the 19B bound isotope in terms of a 17B-n-n 3-body system, in which the two 2-body unbound subsystems 17B-n and n-n are close to the unitary limit. A n-17B local interaction is parametrized in order to reproduce the...
Nuclear clustering is of great interest to the nuclear physics community as it allows complicated systems of many nucleons to be reduced to a few-body system, enabling the modelling of nuclei beyond where a traditional description of a nucleus would prove computationally challenging, as well as providing a good test of theoretical models. An experiment utilising the $^{12}$C($^{7}$Li,...
Single particle transfer reactions (d,p) involving rare isotopes continue to be an important tool for extracting nuclear structure information such as asymptotic normalizations coefficients, and contribute to the understanding of the dynamics of the reactions. The (d,p) reaction may be viewed as a three-body n+p+A problem in which the deuteron and the nucleus A act as participants in the...
