Abstract
Total cross-sections of the halo nuclei in both the zero- and the finite-ranges are calculated at energy range of 25-800 MeV/n, by using the carbon nuclei as a probe. The calculations are based on the Optical Limit Approximation (OLA) of the Glauber theory and are done for Li, Be and B isotopes using the finite and the zero range interactions. We found that the total cross-sections depend slightly on the nuclear density. On the other hand, there is a discrepancy between the calculated results of both ranges in the surface region of the reaction probability. The theoretical results for the zero- and the finite-range are compared with experimental data. We found that the zero-range predictions are consistent with experimental data more than the finite-range.
