Abstract: (APS)
Total reaction cross sections of neutron-rich nuclei from C to Mg in a thick Si target have been measured by the detection of the associated γ rays in a 4π geometry. This cross section strongly increases with neutron excess, indicating an increase of as much as 15% of the reduced strong absorption radius with respect to stable nuclei.
