Systematic and consistent microscopic description of measured reaction cross sections at low projectile en-ergies is presented. Finite-range Glauber model (GM-F) along with the Coulomb modification is used. The required inputs, namely the neutron and proton density distributions of the relevant projectiles and the targets, are calculated in the relativistic mean field framework. The GM-F reproduces the experiment well. At high projectile energies both the GM-F and the zero-range Glauber model in the optical limit (GM-Z) yield almost identical results; however, the GM-F in general is superior at low projectile energies, as expected.
