Abstract

Charge-changing cross sections at high energies are expected to provide useful information on nuclear charge radii. No reliable theory to calculate the cross section has yet been available. We develop a formula using Glauber and eikonal approximations and test its validity with recent new data on carbon isotopes measured at around 900A MeV. We first confirm that our theory reproduces the cross sections of C12,13,14+C12 consistently with the known charge radii. Next we show that the cross sections of C12-19 on a proton target are all well reproduced provided the role of neutrons is accounted for. We also discuss the energy dependence of the charge-changing cross sections.
