Charge-changing cross section and interaction cross section for 4≤Z≤9 isotopes

The root-mean-square proton and neutron radii for 7,9--12,14Be, 10--15,17B, ¹²⁻⁻¹⁹C, 14,15,17--22N, 16,18--24O, and 18--21,23--26F isotopes are deduced from a systematic analysis of experimental charge-changing and interaction cross sections in the framework of the 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, and subshell closure observed in exotic isotopes.
