NUCLEAR REACTION CROSS-SECTION FOR DRIP-LINE NUCLEI IN THE FRAMEWORK OF GLAUBER MODEL USING RELATIVISTIC AND NONRELATIVISTIC DENSITIES

Abstract

We study the nuclear reaction cross-sections for some of the neutron-rich nuclei in the lighter mass region of the periodic chart which are recently measured. The well-known Glauber formalism is used by taking deformed relativistic and nonrelativistic densities as input in the calculations. We find reasonable reaction cross-sections with both the densities. However with a better inspection of the results, it is noticed that the results obtained with relativistic densities are more closure to the experimental data than the nonrelativistic Skyrme densities.
