Description
The interaction cross section is one of the measurements from which the matter radii of nuclei can be derived. It can be applied to unstable nuclei very far from the stability line due to the large cross section and the ability to thick targets. It has contributed to the discovery of exotic halo structures, skin structures and new magic numbers of unstable nuclei. On the other hand, it has recently been found that the charge-change cross section measurements can be used to derive the charge radii. We have indicated that it is important to take into account proton evaporation effects in this derivation method. To apply these measurements to many nuclei, we have started the S3CAN (Symbiotic Systematic and Simultaneous Cross-section measurements for All over the Nuclear Chart) experiment as part of the TRIP project in RIKEN. In this presentation, we will discuss the experimental methods for cross-section measurements, the latest experimental results and future plans.
