Abstract

We have studied nuclear structure and reaction properties of Ne, Mg and Si isotopes, using relativistic mean field densities, in the frame work of Glauber model. Total reaction cross section $\sigma_R$ for Ne isotopes on 12C target have been calculated at incident energy 240 MeV. The results are compared with the experimental data and with the recent theoretical study [W. Horiuchi et al., Phys. Rev. C, 86, 024614 (2012)]. Study of $\sigma_R$ using deformed densities have shown a good agreement with the data. We have also predicted total reaction cross section $\sigma_R$ for Ne, Mg and Si isotopes as projectiles and 12C as target at different incident energies.
