Abstract

Interaction radii for 11C and 12N have been determined by the measurement of interaction cross sections at around 730 MeV/nucleon. Effective root-mean-square (RMS) matter and charge radii of nucleon distribution of these nuclei have been deduced using a Glauber-model calculation. Effective deformation parameters of light mirror nuclei (A=8, 11, 12, and 17) have been deduced using experimentally observed quadrupole moments. The deformation is almost equal between the mirror pair, and the large deformation parameter has been observed for A=8. This suggests that the relatively large quadrupole moment of 8B is not due to the proton-halo but to the large deformation.
