In the past 20 years there has been interest among the nuclear physics community to study the exotic properties observed in halo nuclei such as ¹¹Li. Recent theoretical calculations predicted a deviation of the elastic cross section from the standard Rutherford formula, expected due to the dipole structure formed by the ⁹Li core and the halo neutrons when passing near the strong Coulomb produced by the Pb target. To explore this effect, the scattering and breakup reactions of the two-neutron halo nucleus ¹¹Li were measured at ISACII-TRIUMF. Data was obtained at energies around, below and above the Coulomb barrier, 2.7MeV/u. We used a set of four telescopes with PAD silicon detectors behind in order to clearly identified all fragments in the full detection angles covering 10-140 degree.In this contribution we will present the analysis of the ⁹Li scattering data that it is needed to understand the effect on the ¹¹Li cross sections. We will also present preliminary results of the ¹¹Li scattering.
