Eikonal model  High-energy reactions (~ 70 MeV/nucleon) are widely used to investigate Halo nuclei.  High incident energies permits to handle the Schrödinger equation in a simplified way: Eikonal model.  Non-microscopic 2-Body and 3-Body descriptions of the projectile has been introduced in the eikonal method. Three-body projectile in the eikonal model [3,4] [ 3] D. Baye, et. al; Phys. Rev. C 79, (2009). [4] E. C. Pinilla, et. al, Phys. Rev. C 85, (2012). c P n n 208 Pb 6 He, 11 Li
