Abstract

New experimental results recently reported for matter radii of ^{22, 23}O are significantly smaller than previous values. Our potential-model calculations agree with experiment for the entire chain from A = 17 to 23, so that, within the experimental uncertainties, the data can be explained without considering any modification of the core.
