✦ Synopsis

A review is presented of fragment momentum distributions from the breakup of halo nuclei. The nature of the distributions and relationship to the structure of the halo is discussed in the light of recent experimental and theoretical investigations, including those for "C. Particular emphasis is given to core longitudinal momentum distributions and neutron distributions from core-breakup reactions.

'Note that in itself a narrow momentum distribution did not establish the existence of the halo. 'Subsequent measurements have confirmed a weak target dependence 1171.
