The isospin dependence of the nucleus–nucleus inelastic cross-section at high energy

The isospin dependence of the nucleus–nucleus inelastic cross-section at high energy is investigated within the multiple scattering theory. The multiple integrals are evaluated by Monte Carlo method as well as by the optical limit approximation of the Glauber model. Calculations are performed for 14–23N, 16–24O and 18–26F isotopes colliding with carbon target around 1 GeV. It is found that rms radii and the density distributions show a halo structure of 22N, 23O and 24F.
