*Electromagnetic Reactions and Structure of Light Nuclei*

The investigation of light nuclei with ab-initio methods provides an 
optimal setting to probe our present knowledge of nuclear forces, 
since the few-nucleon problem can be accurately solved. We believe, 
supported by recent advances in effective field theory, that nucleons 
interact not only in pairs but also via many-body forces. Theoretical 
efforts need to be taken towards the identification of bound and continuum
nuclear observables sensitive to the less known many-nucleon forces.
Electromagnetic reactions and structure properties of light nuclei close
to the drip line can potentially provide us with useful information on that.
I will present new results on electron scattering of He4, with emphasis on
the role of three-body forces and on the comparison with experiment.
I will also report on our investigation of light halo nuclei in the 
helium isotope chain.
