Measurement of total reaction cross section of the proton drip-line nucleus Ne-17 on Si target

Ne-20 was used as primary beam to bombard Be target to produce RIB Ne-17. which is a candidate of proton halo nuclei in theoretical prediction. The total reaction cross section of Ne-17 on Si target was measured. No enhancement was observed compared with that of its neighbors. The calculation with modified Glauber model is consistent with the experimental results. No exotic structure of Ne-17 is confirmed.
