The effect of Coulomb nuclear diffraction interference on the magnitude of single proton knockout cross section have been examined quantitatively for single proton knockout from 13O nucleus on 9Be targets at 28.5 MeV/nucleon incident beam energy. The Coulomb breakup mechanism is treated with all orders treatment in sudden approximation and nuclear diffraction mechanism is treated using Glauber eikonal approximations. The obtained results shows that interference plays a significant role in 13O knockout reaction, which can enhance the magnitude of knockout cross section approximately 20%. Therefore, I hope that this investigation will be helpful for better interpretation of 13O nucleus structure.
