Reaction and structure effects of light mass nuclei using Glauber model with relativistic and non relativistic simple effective interaction densities

TL;DR

This paper compares relativistic and non-relativistic models for light nuclei, analyzing their structural properties and reaction dynamics, and finds both approaches effectively reproduce experimental data, with relativistic models showing some advantages.

Contribution

It provides a comparative analysis of relativistic and non-relativistic approaches for light nuclei using Glauber model and effective interactions, highlighting their relative strengths.

Findings

Both formalisms reproduce experimental ground state properties.

Relativistic mean field shows slight superiority in reaction dynamics.

Simple effective interaction densities effectively model halo nuclei.

Abstract

We study the structural properties of some nuclei in the region of light mass using simple effective interaction in the frame work of microscopic non relativistic Hartree-Fock and relativistic mean field formalism. For the reaction dynamics, well known Glauber model is used with the conjunctions of the densities obtained from these formalism. We observe good agreement of results by both the formalism in comparison to the experimental values. These two different approaches seems to be equally capable to reproduce the ground state properties of nuclei in this region. A careful study of reaction dynamics suggest the superiority of relativistic mean field over the Hartree-Fock with simple effective interaction densities. But good agreement of reaction cross section is appeared with simple effective interaction density for halo nuclear systems. The possibility of existence of bubble nuclei are also studied using both the formalism.
