Role of deformation in odd-even staggering in reaction cross sections for ${}^{30,31,32}$Ne and ${}^{36,37,38}$Mg isotopes

Abstract

We discuss the role of pairing anti-halo effect in the observed odd-even staggering in reaction cross sections for ${}^{30,31,32}$Ne and ${}^{36,37,38}$Mg isotopes by taking into account the ground state deformation of these nuclei. To this end, we construct the ground state density for the ${}^{30,31}$Ne and ${}^{36,37}$Mg nuclei based on a deformed Woods-Saxon potential, while for the ${}^{32}$Ne and ${}^{38}$Mg nuclei we also take into account the pairing correlation using the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method. We demonstrate that, when the one-neutron separation energy is small for the odd-mass nuclei, a significant odd-even staggering still appears even with finite deformation, although the degree of staggering is somewhat reduced compared to the spherical case. This implies that the pairing anti-halo effect in general plays an important role in generating the odd-even staggering in reaction cross sections for weakly bound nuclei.
