- Energy loss of protons in thick
target (σ(E))
- Secondary reactions in target

• Example: halo nuclei such as 11Li (1985)
o Radius of 11Li is similar to that of 208Pb
o Explanation: 9Li core + two loosely bound neutrons
o When taking away 1 neutron, the other is not bound any
more (10Li is not bound)
o Example: shell structure evolution
o Do magic numbers change in exotic nuclei?
