Study on Halo Nuclei 11Be, 19C, 23O and 17F, Using Glauber Model and RMF Densities

We have studied the ground-state properties like binding energies, root-mean-square (rms) charge radii, quadrupole deformation parameters and neutron-skin thickness of some one nucleon halo nuclei as Be-11, C-19, O-23 and F-17 and their corresponding neighbors using relativistic mean field (RMF) formalism with NL3* parameter set. Our calculated results are then compared with the finite range droplet model predictions, Weizsacker-Skyrme mass formula using WS, WS* parameters and experimental data. The total nuclear reaction cross-sections and elastic differential scattering cross-sections for these halo and their neighboring nuclei as projectiles and C-12 as target at various projectile energies are calculated in the framework of Glauber model in conjunction with RMF densities. The large values of rms charge radii, enhanced reaction cross-sections and comparatively higher values of differential elastic scattering cross-sections of above nuclei in comparison to their neighboring isotopes favors the halo features.
