A Qualitative Analysis of Channel Wave Functions and Widths of the Low-lying States of ⁶Li

The structure of the channel wave functions of ⁶Li is studied qualitatively. It is found that the widths of the low-lying resonances can be in general explained by using shell model wave functions. Nonetheless, the width of the 3⁺ state is narrower than that anticipated by the shell model, thus there is a room for the existence of other physical pictures to describe the very light nuclei.
