Reaction cross sections of the deformed halo nucleus 31Ne
Abstract
Using the Glauber theory, we calculate reaction cross sections for the deformed halo nucleus
31
Ne. To this end, we assume that the
31
Ne nucleus takes the
30
Ne +
n
structure. In order to take into account the rotational excitation of the core nucleus
30
Ne, we employ the particle-rotor model (PRM). We compare the results to those in the adiabatic limit of PRM, that is, the Nilsson model, and show that the Nilsson model works reasonably well for the reaction cross sections of
31
Ne. We also investigate the dependence of the reaction cross sections on the ground state properties of
31
Ne, such as the deformation parameter and the p-wave component in the ground state wave function.
