Abstract

Proton radii of C12-19 densities derived from first accurate charge changing cross section measurements at 900A MeV with a carbon target are reported. A thick neutron surface evolves from ∼0.5 fm in C15 to ∼1 fm in C19. The halo radius in C19 is found to be 6.4±0.7 fm as large as Li11. Ab initio calculations based on chiral nucleon-nucleon and three-nucleon forces reproduce the radii well.
