Directional Correlation of Nuclear-Collision Probability for Aligned Beams of Deformed Nuclei

In the long history of nuclear physics, a lot of observables have been discussed in connection with the nuclear deformation. In this work, an investigation have been carried out on the directional correlation of the nuclear-collision probability between the direction of beam of deformed nuclei and the deformation axis, to sense the nuclear deformation directly. Few experimental studies of this kind have been done because of the difficulties in producing aligned beams. We utilized the projectile fragmentation to produce the aligned nuclear beams. We tested these measurements for $^{9}$Be, $^{10}$B, and $^{26}$Al at the HIMAC facility. By selecting the parallel momentum using the separator, spin aligned beams were produced, with which the interaction cross sections were measured. The cross sections were precisely measured as a function of longitudinal momentum. We will report on the details of measurements and discussions on this intriguing result.
