Abstract

Abstract: We measured the energy dependence of the total reaction cross sections (σR ) for the proton-drip-line nucleus, 17 Ne, using a solid hydrogen target. We compared the experimental data with theoretical calculations using the Glauber model. We found that the theoretical cross sections overestimate the experimental ones in the low-energy region (∼100A MeV), whereas they significantly underestimate the experimental data in the intermediate-energy region (∼300-500A MeV). These trends are the same as those for σR for carbon-proton collisions, which were measured previously. We discuss several possibilities for resolving this discrepancy. This work demonstrates the necessity of additional careful investigations of the energy dependence of σR for various nuclei on proton targets in order to determine nuclear size properties precisely.
