What changed
Measured interaction cross sections for light isotopes and inferred unexpectedly large matter radii for neutron-rich nuclei, including the lithium isotopes highlighted in the paper.
Scientific scope
The record is the exact 1985 Physical Review Letters article. Later halo-nucleus interpretation, measurements of other isotopes and subsequent reaction models remain separate.
