Abstract
We have precisely measured reaction cross sections (σR) for Li8 using Be9, 12C, Al27, and proton targets at intermediate energies by the transmission method. From the energy dependence of the σR including the high energy data, the density distribution of Li8 was deduced through a modified Glauber model. It is shown that Li8 has a shorter tail structure in the density as compared with that of 8B and the matter radius of Li8 is similar to those of the other nonhalo Li isotopes. The result is consistent with the previous experiments that there is a tendency for Li8 to be a skin nucleus.Received 7 July 2014Revised 4 September 2014DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevC.90.044321©2014 American Physical Society
