E* E* Width of the resonance proportional to the probability to tunnel through centrifugal barrier B ℓ = ℓ ( ℓ + 1) " 2 Γ ( ℓ , E *, SF ) 2 µ R 2 When the barrier is large or/and E* small ν ν Longer time to tunnel through the barrier -> small Γ -> behave as quasi bound state ℓ Low Large ℓ bound In case of a broad resonance, a large part of the unbound wave function lies in the continuum

  4. Part I: Nuclear forces towards the drip line Broad resonance Narrow resonance B ℓ = ℓ ( ℓ + 1) " 2 Γ ⋅ t = ! 2 µ R 2 Width of the resonance proportional to the probability to tunnel through centrifugal barrier When it takes longer time to tunnel through the barrier -> width is small > quasi bound state ν ν In case of a resonance, part of the wave function lies in the continuum ℓ Low Large ℓ In the case of proton orbits, the Coulomb potential leads to an additional barrier. States may behave as quasi-bound states when much lower than the barriers. π ν
