CHARGE DENSITY DISTRIBUTIONS AND RELATED FORM FACTORS IN NEUTRON-RICH LIGHT EXOTIC NUCLEI.

Charge form factors corresponding to proton density distributions in exotic nuclei, such as ^6,8He, ¹¹Li, ^17,19B and ¹⁴Be are calculated and compared. The results can be used as tests of various theoretical models for the exotic nuclei structure in possible future experiments using a colliding electron-exotic nucleus storage ring. The result of such a comparison would show the effect of the neutron halo or skin on the proton distributions in exotic nuclei. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
