Abstract

The root-mean-square proton and neutron radii for 7,912,14^{7,9-12,14}\rm Be, 1015,17^{10-15,17}\rm B, 1219^{12-19}\rm C, 14,15,1722^{14,15,17-22}\rm N, 16,1824^{16,18-24}\rm O, and 1821,2326^{18-21,23-26}\rm F isotopes are deduced from a systematic analysis of experimental charge-changing and interaction cross sections in the framework of Glauber model. The calculations involve descriptions of nuclei based on Slater determinants using harmonic oscillator single-particle wave functions. The extracted proton and neutron radii have been examined in the light of some important features such as neutron skin thickness/halo-like structure/subshell closure observed in exotic isotopes.
