Theory of NN Potentials
Look at main part – π-exchange:
Elastic scattering in momentum space
or through a Fourier transform, in coordinate space:
Off-shell component present in the Bonn potentials
Non-local (depends on initial and final momenta).Plays a role in many-body applications: morebinding

Look at main part, pion-exchange:
Needed to Bind A = 3 nucleiTwo-nucleon interactions under-bindNote CD-Bonn has a little more binding due tonon-local terms
Further evidencefrom by ab initio calculations for 10B:NN-interactions give the wrong ground-state spin!

Why Study Haloes?
Good few-body system:Continuum is near to bound states, long tails to boundstates, so large cross sections & dynamic distortion inreactions.
See prominent single-particle states
See pairing outside nuclear surface:in two-neutron halo ground states;in two-neutron continuum via breakup; andin two-proton decay via tunnelling
See bound states in classically forbidden regions.
