Abstract

We study anti-halo effects on reaction cross sections σR\sigma_{\rm R} for 14,15,16^{14,15,16}C scattering from a 12^{12}C target at 83~MeV/nucleon, using the gg-matrix double-folding model. 15^{15}C is described by the 14^{14}C~+~nn two-body model that reproduces the measured large s-wave spectroscopic factor, i.e., the shell inversion that the 1s1/2_{1/2} orbital is lower than the 0d5/2_{5/2} orbital in energy. 16^{16}C is described by the 14^{14}C~+~nn~+~nn three-body model with the phenomenological three-body force (3BF) that explains the measured small s-wave spectroscopic factor. The 3BF allows the single-particle energies of the 14^{14}C + nn subsystem to depend on the position rr of the second neutron from the center of mass of the subsystem. The 1s1/2_{1/2} orbital is lower than the 0d5/2_{5/2} orbital for large rr, but the shell inversion is restored for small rr. Anti-halo effects due to the "partial shell inversion" make σR\sigma_{\rm R} for 16^{16}C smaller than that for 15^{15}C. We also investigate projectile breakup effects on the mass-number dependence of σR\sigma_{\rm R} with the continuum discretized coupled-channels method.
