In heavy nuclei the spatial distribution of protons and neutrons is different. At CERN SPS energies production of π+ and π- differs for pp, pn, np and nn scattering. These two facts lead to an impact parameter dependence of the π+ to π- ratio in 208Pb+208Pb collisions. A recent experiment at CERN seems to confirm qualitatively these predictions. It may open a possibility for determination of neutron density distribution in nuclei.

Based on a relativistic Thomas–Fermi model, it is shown that a two-parameter Fermi distribution can be used for describing the neutron density distribution in the 208 Pb nucleus.

We have studied the isospin effect and isoscaling behavior in projectile fragmentation using a modified statistical abrasion-ablation (SAA) model. The relationship between neutron skin thickness (δnp) and neutron abrasion cross section (σ nabr ) has also been investigated. We find the normalized peak differences and reduced isoscaling parameters decrease with (Z proj - Z)/Z proj or the excitation energy per nucleon and have no significant dependence on the size of the reaction systems. The excitation energy dependence of the symmetry energy coefficients are tentatively extracted from α and β. Assuming Fermi-type density distributions for proton and neutron and introducing a parameter to adjust the diffuseness of the neutron density distribution for neutron-rich nucleus, δnp and σ nabr for neutron-rich nucleus were found to have a linear correlation. It is suggested that σ nabr could be used as an observable to extract the neutron skin thickness for neutron-rich nucleus.
