Reaction cross sections and radii of A=17 and A=20 isobars

Reaction cross sections and root-mean-square (rms) radii of A=17 and A=20 isobars are calculated by using a simplified Glauber model and spherical and deformed Hartree-Fock (HF) wave functions. The small separation energy effect is discussed on the reaction cross sections of A=17 isobars and possible proton halo in Ne-17 by using modified spherical HF wave functions. The calculated rms mass radii of A=20 isobars are increased appreciably by the deformation effect and show a similar irregular pattern as a function of the isospin to that of the observed radii.
