The same few-body Glauber model predicts that if a nucleus (AZ) consists of a core (A-1Z) and a halo (1n), then,

The present work gives:

For 17C:If we use the reaction cross sections of 17C and 16C from [Cuie Wu et al., NPA739(2004)3] and [T. Zheng

et al., NPA709(2002)103], the right-hand side of the above equation is 113±33 mb.

We measured the one-neutron removal cross section of 17C on 12C target

at 79A MeV. The σ-1n was analyzed within the framework of the few-bod

y Glauber model and a good agreement was found.

The valence neutron of 17C is mainly in the d-orbital, which is in agreement w

ith the reaction cross section (C. Wu et al. NPA739(2004)3) and momentum di

stribution measurements (V. Maddalena et al. PRC63(2001)024613).

The calculation underestimate the data at higher energy while overestimate

the data at lower energy, the reason of which is yet to be understood.

Summary

The two- and three-neutron removal cross sections are reported for the first

time but not analyzed by lack of a suitable theory. We hope the development

of the theory.
