Recent reaction measurements have been interpreted as evidence of a halo structure in the exotic neutron-rich isotopes29,31Ne. While theoretical studies of31Ne generally agree on its halo nature, they differ significantly in their predictions of its properties and underlying cause (e.g., that31Ne has an inverted ordering ofp–forbitals). We have made a systematic theoretical analysis of possible Neon halo signatures – the first using a fully microscopic, relativistic mean field approach that properly treats positive energy orbitals (such as the valence neutron in31Ne) self-consistently with bound levels, as well as the pairing effect that keeps the nucleus loosely bound with negative Fermi energy. Our model is the analytical continuation of the coupling constant (ACCC) method based on a relativistic mean field (RMF) theory with Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS) pairing approximation. We calculate neutron- and matter-radii, one-neutron separation energies,p- andf-orbital energies and occupation probabilities, and neutron densities for single-particle resonant orbitals in27–31Ne. We analyze these results for evidence of neutron halo formation in29,31Ne. Our model predicts ap-orbit 1nhalo structure for31Ne, based on a radius increase from30Ne that is 7–8 times larger than the increase from29Ne to30Ne, as well as a decrease in the neutron separation energy by a factor of ∼10 compared to that of27–30Ne. In contrast to some other studies, our inclusion of resonances yields an inverted ordering ofpandforbitals for spherical and slightly deformed nuclei. Furthermore, we find no evidence of ans-orbit 1nhalo in29Ne as recently claimed in the literature.
