Abstract

The charge-changing cross-section (σcc) of the dripline nucleus, 19B, was measured using the transmission technique at RIBF, RIKEN, to understand its root mean square proton radius (Rp). This new measurement will be the first determination of the Rp for the Borromean nucleus, 19B. The new value of Rp will help determine the geometrical structure of 19B and the neutron-neutron correlation in the Borromean nucleus.
