Matter Distribution in Neutron-Rich Light Nuclei and Total Reaction Cross-Section

Abstract

Mean square radii of light radioactive projectiles, including exotic isotopes close to the neutron drip line (nLi,14Be, and17B), have been deduced from total reaction cross-section measurements, using a simple microscopic model. The isospin dependence of nuclear radii is discussed and compared to other experimental results. © 1990 IOP Publishing Ltd.
