Abstract: | The reaction cross section of 17B on 12C target at (43.7±2.4) MeV/u has been measured at the Radioactive Ion Beam Line in Lanzhou (RIBLL). The root-mean-square matter radius (Rrms) was deduced to be (2.92±0.10) fm, while the Rrms of the core and the valence neutron distribution are 2.28 fm and 5.98 fm respectively. Assuming a "core plus 2n" structure in 17B, the mixed configuration of (2s1/2) and (1d5/2) of the valence neutrons is studied and the s-wave spectroscopic factor is found to be (80±21)%. |
