Usage in scientific papers

It is well known from experiments with radioactive nuclear beams that nuclei produced near the neutron (proton) drip line exhibit a neutron (proton) halo, i.e., a density of weakly bound valence neutron(s) (proton(s)) which extend well beyond the radius of the nuclear core.

In particular, thanks to the glue–like rˆole of the hyperon, one could produce a Hypernucleus with a neutron halo even by starting from a weakly unbound nuclear core (see the cases of Fig. 15 indicated by xxx), thus possibly extending the neutron drip line beyond the standard limits of neutron–rich nuclei [132, 133].
