Abstract
Recent results for total reaction and fusion excitation functions for halo systems are compiled. The striking similarity in the behavior of total cross sections for proton-halo (8B) and neutron-halo (6He) systems is pointed out. Static and dynamic halo effects are elucidated by comparing data for a neutron-halo nucleus and its core. Fusion cross sections are discussed in terms of a maximum angular momentum for fusion, Lf. A linear energy dependence for Lf is consistent with the data for all the existing measurements so this might actually be a characteristic feature of true halo systems. A qualitative difference between the fusion of neutro-halo and proton-halo systems also is pointed out.
