Glauber-model analysis of total reaction cross sections for Ne, Mg, Si, and S isotopes with Skyrme-Hartree-Fock densities

A systematic analysis is made on the total reaction cross sections for Ne, Mg, Si, and S isotopes. The high-energy nucleus-nucleus collision is described based on the Glauber model. Using the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock method in the three-dimensional grid-space representation, we determine the nuclear density distribution for a wide range of nuclei self-consistently without assuming any spatial symmetry. The calculated total reaction cross sections consistently agree with the recent cross section data on Ne$+^{12}$C collision at 240$A$\,MeV, which makes it possible to discuss the radius and deformation of the isotopes. The total reaction cross sections for Mg$+^{12}$C, Si$+^{12}$C and S$+^{12}$C cases are predicted for future measurements. We also find that the high-energy cross section data for O, Ne, and Mg isotopes on a $^{12}$C target at around 1000\,$A$MeV can not be reproduced consistently with the corresponding data at 240\,$A$MeV.
