Halo nuclei are a promising new arena for studies based on effective field theory (EFT). We develop an EFT for shallow p-wave states and discuss the application to elastic nα scattering. In contrast to the s-wave case, both the scattering length and effective range enter at leading order. We also discuss the prospects of using EFT in the description of other halos, such as the three-body halo nucleus 6 He.  2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

• Nuclear effective field theory: Status and perspectives (2019, methodology): “A variant of this EFT, Halo/Cluster EFT, has been applied (Bertulani et al., 2002; Bedaque et al., 2003a) to bound states and reactions involving halo and cluster nuclei, characterized by such low energies that one or more tight clusters of nucleons can be treated as elementary degrees of freedom.”
