Neutron skin and signature of the N = 14 shell gap found from measured proton radii of 17−22N

A thick neutron skin emerges from the first determination of root mean square radii of the proton distributions for 17−22N from charge changing cross section measurements around 900A MeV at GSI. Neutron halo effects are signalled for 22N from an increase in the proton and matter radii. The radii sug...
