Explore recent developments in capture reactions within the framework of Halo Effective Field Theory in this 33-minute conference talk. Learn about the latest theoretical advances and computational methods used to describe neutron capture processes in halo nuclei, where weakly bound nucleons create extended wave functions. Discover how Halo EFT provides a systematic approach to understanding these reactions by exploiting the separation of scales between the halo size and typical nuclear interaction ranges. Examine the applications of this theoretical framework to astrophysically relevant capture processes and gain insights into how these methods contribute to our understanding of nucleosynthesis in stellar environments and the structure of exotic nuclei near the neutron drip line.
