Description

Interaction cross sections (sigma/sub I/) for all the known Li iostopes (6Li--11Li) and 7Be, 9Be, and 10Be on targets Be, C, and Al have been measured at 790 MeV/nucleon. Root mean square radii of these isotopes as well as He isotopes have been deduced from the sigma/sub I/ by a Glauber-type calculation. Appreciable differences of radii among isobars (6He-6Li, 8He-8Li, and 9Li-9Be) have been observed for the first time. The nucleus 11Li showed a remarkably large radius suggesting a large deformation or a long tail in the matter distribution
