The harmonic oscillator (HO) and Gaussian (GS) wave functions within the binary cluster model (BCM) have been employ to investigate the ground state neutron, proton and matter densities as well as the elastic form factors of two-neutron 6 He and 16 C halo nuclei. The long tail is a property that is clearly revealed in the density of the neutrons since it is found in halo orbits. The existence of a long tail in the neutron density distributions of 6 He and 16 C indicating that these nuclei have a neutron halo structure. Moreover, the matter rms radii and the reaction cross section (σr) of these nuclei have been calculated using the Glauber model.
