dc.descriptionWe re-examine the matter radii of diffuse halo nuclei, as deduced from reaction cross section measurements at high energy. Careful consideration is given to the intrinsic few-body structure of these projectiles and the adiabatic nature of the projectile-target interaction. Using $^{11}$Li, $^{11}$Be and $^{8}$B as examples we show that data require significantly larger matter radii than previously reported. The revised value for $^{11}$Li of 3.55 fm is consistent with three-body models with significant $1s$-intruder state components, which reproduce experimental $^{9}$Li momentum distributions following $^{11}$Li breakup, but were hitherto thought to be at variance with cross section data.
