contents In this work, we present a new approximate method for obtaining simple wave functions for the ground state of exotic nuclei with a neutron halo. We model the system as a two-cluster structure, treating the core and halo as inert objects. The relative wave function is expressed as a combination of simple harmonic oscillator states, with the oscillator parameter determined from the separation energy. Since these wave functions lack the expected exponential decay, we introduce a simple multiplicative renormalization factor based on the nuclear root mean square radius. This approach, combining oscillator wave functions and the renormalization factor, is then applied to calculate dipole strength distributions $dB(E1,\varepsilon)/d\varepsilon$ and Coulomb dissociation cross section $dσ(E1,\varepsilon)/d\varepsilon$ for several $1n$- and $2n$-halo nuclei. The results show excellent agreement with the available experimental data.
