Abstract
From electromagnetic measurements, we have a great deal of information about the distribution of protons in nuclei. Although several methods have been proposed to measure the neutron or the total density distributions,1-3 these methods have not yet achieved accurate results. The purpose of this article is to present an accurate determination of the surface of nuclear density distributions. The measurement of the RMS radius relative to Ca40 is achieved to an accuracy of approximately ±0.1 fm.
