Study of Reaction Cross Section of Light Mass Nuclei Using Glauber Formalisms

Abstract

We study the reaction dynamics of some light mass nuclei (Be-Ar isotopes). We use the well-known Glauber formalism with densities obtained from a recently developed simple effective interaction, in the frameword of the microscopic non-relativistic Hartree–Fock formalisms. For comparison, we used also densities from the relativistic mean field formalism. In general, the study of the reaction dynamics suggests that both formalisms reproduce well the experimental data, with a slight superiority of the relativistic mean field densities over those of non-relativistic Hartree–Fock. This is so for the majority of the chosen cases, except for a few nuclear halo systems.
