Determination of reaction cross section of carbon isotopic chain using phenomenological approach

Total nuclear reaction cross section (σr) is an observable of paramount importance for extracting some of nuclear properties like nucleon density distributions, nuclear sizes of normal and exotic nuclei etc. Owing to the simplicity the phenomenological parameterization scheme for the calculation of σr is employed frequently. However, there exists large uncertainty in the determination of Rint, the interaction radius, which is an important ingredient needed in this scheme. In order to get accurate value of σr this uncertainty needs to be removed. Hence in the present work attempt has been made to resolve this uncertainty by using recently proposed parameterization scheme for determining the safe lower limit of impact parameter (bmin)
