Abstract

The structural properties of Al isotopes are analysed using the relativistic mean field formalism with NL3 parameter set. The Glauber model technique is implemented to study the reaction dynamics for ²³⁻²⁸Al taking ¹²C as the target. The enhanced reaction cross section, high value of radius, narrow longitudinal momentum distribution and small proton separation energy of ²³Al favours a proton halo structure for this nucleus.
