Abstract
Two independent methods: Asymptotic Normalization Coefficients (ANC) and Modified Diffraction Model (MDM) were applied to new and existing experimental data to search for states with enhanced radii in isobaric analogue states (IAS) of 12B and 12N. The ANC analysis of the 11B(d,p)12B reaction at Ed = 21.5 MeV has confirmed neutron halo existence for two states of 12B: 2−, 1.67 MeV and 1−, 2.62 MeV [1]. Some new results were obtained for higher excited states: halo-like states were observed for 0+, 2.72 MeV and 3−, 3.39 MeV states. It should be mentioned that the last one is unbound state, which is 19 keV above the neutron emission threshold and in both states last neutron has a non-zero orbital momentum (ln=1 and ln=2 correspondingly). We propose to use MDM to study isobaric analogue states of 12B in the mirror 12N nucleus and apply it to analyze the (3He,t) reaction data. The existing in the literature data are not completed enough to make definite conclusion about halo in the 2− and 1− states of 12N. This fact simulated us to carry out a new experiment on the 12C(3He,t)12N reaction at the end of 2018. The measurements were conducted at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) using the K130 cyclotron to produce a 3He beam at E(3He)=40 MeV. The differential cross sections of the 12C(3He,t)12N reaction were measured in the c.m. angular range 8°–70°. Preliminary results for angular distributions are obtained. MDM analysis of preliminary (3He,t) experimental data is done.

Summary
Discovery of the neutron halo in the ground states of some light nuclei [1] was one of the most striking discoveries in nuclear physics made at the end of the last century. According to [2,3,4,5,6] the halo signs are (i) a large probability for finding a cluster component in the total many-body wave function and (ii) a large spatial extension implying that more than half of the probability should be in the classically forbidden region outside the outer classical turning point. Liu and collaborators [10] observed signs of neutron halo for states 6.09 MeV, 1− and 6.90 MeV, 0− in 14C This result was obtained in ANC analysis of experimental data 13C(d,p)14C at E(d) = 17.7 MeV [11].
