  We have reanalyzed reaction cross sections of 16N on 12C target. The nucleon
density distribution of 16N, especially surface density distribution, was
extracted using the modified Glauber model. On the basis of dilute surface
densities, the discussion of 15N(n, {\gamma})16N reaction was performed within
the framework of the direct capture reaction mechanism. The calculations agreed
quite well with the experimental data.
