Study of the density distribution of C-17 from reaction cross section measurement

摘要

The reaction cross section of C-17 on a carbon target at 79 A MeV has been measured by the transmission method. The density distribution of C-17 was deduced using the finite-range Glauber model (FRGM) combined with the interaction cross section of C-17 at high energy. The existence of a tail in the density distribution of C-17 is suggested to get a better understanding of both the low energy and high energy data. Under a core plus single-particle assumption, analysis shows a dominant d-wave of the valence neutron in C-17. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
