Description
The light nuclei region in the chart of nuclei is recently subject to intense theoretical studies starting from ab initio calculations or using phenomenologic
few body approaches. All of these have in common, that they reveil or explore an intrinsic property of these systems: the appearance of strong clustering effects, showing the importance of residual interactions in a mean field picture. We have studied bound and unbound system produced in breakup reactions of light halo nuclei at large kinetic energies at the accelerator facilities of the GSI Darmstadt. The method allows for background free production of even unbound very neutron rich systems by removing protons (or alphas) from bound nuclei
that are already at the outskirts of the nuclear landscape. Selected results of these studies will be shown and the most exotic Lithium isotopes will be presented in the course of my talk.
