Abstract
A systematic analysis is made on the total reaction cross sections for Ne, Mg, Si, and S isotopes. The high-energy nucleus-nucleus collision is described based on the Glauber model. Using the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock method in the three-dimensional grid-space representation, we determine the nuclear density distribution for a wide range of nuclei self-consistently without assuming any spatial symmetry. The calculated total reaction cross sections consistently agree with the recent cross section data on the NeC collision at 240 MeV, which makes it possible to discuss the radius and deformation of the isotopes. The total reaction cross sections for MgC, SiC, and SC cases are predicted for future measurements. We also find that the high-energy cross section data for O, Ne, and Mg isotopes on a C target at around 1000 MeV can not be reproduced consistently with the corresponding data at 240 MeV.
