Abstract

We report the charge-changing cross sections (σ_cc) of 24 p-shell nuclides on both hydrogen and carbon at about 900A MeV, of which ^8,9Li, ^10–12Be, ^10,14,15B, ^{14,15,17–22}N and ¹⁶O on hydrogen and ^8,9Li on carbon are for the first time. Benefiting from the data set, we found a new and robust relationship between the scaling factor of the Glauber model calculations and the separation energies of the nuclei of interest on both targets. This allows us to deduce proton radii (R_p) for the first time from the cross sections on hydrogen. Nearly identical R_p values are deduced from both target data for the neutron-rich carbon isotopes; however, the R_p from the hydrogen target is systematically smaller in the neutron-rich nitrogen isotopes. This calls for further experimental and theoretical investigations.
