Abstract: We have extracted the probability for a valence particle being out the binding potential, as well as the rootmeansquare radius of the probability distribution from the measured nuclear asymptotic normalization coefficients. According to the criterion of nuclear halo, i.e., the valence particle has larger than 50% probability being out of the nuclear binding potential, a number of halo nuclei have been confirmed. Based on these results, we have obtained a very relaxed condition for nuclear halo formation. In addition, a number of nuclear halo candidates have been analyzed with the criteria of 〈r2〉/R2≥1.5 and 〈r2〉1/2/rc≥2.0. Furthermore, we present the scaling laws for the dimensionless quantity 〈r2〉/R2 of the nuclear halo in terms of an analytical expressions of the expectation value for the operator r2 in a finite squarewell potential.
