Charge-changing cross section and interaction cross sections for 4$\le$Z$\le$9 isotopes

Abstract

The root-mean-square proton and neutron radii for ${}^{7,9-12,14}$\rm Be, ${}^{10-15,17}$\rm B, ${}^{12-19}$\rm C, ${}^{14,15,17-22}$\rm N, ${}^{16,18-24}$\rm O, and ${}^{18-21,23-26}$\rm F isotopes are deduced from a systematic analysis of experimental charge-changing and interaction cross sections in the framework of Glauber model. The calculations involve descriptions of nuclei based on Slater determinants using harmonic oscillator single-particle wave functions. The extracted proton and neutron radii have been examined in the light of some important features such as neutron skin thickness/halo-like structure/subshell closure observed in exotic isotopes.
