Abstract

We have measured the heavy residue energies and velocities for the interaction of 35 and 43 MeV/nucleon krypton with gold. The ratio $v_{∥} v_{c.n.}$ increases approximately linearly with mass removed from the target for small values of ΔA, agreeing with the kinematics of peripheral reactions. For large values of ΔA, the maximum momentum transfer in the Kr-induced reactions is substantially less than that expected from LMT systematics, possibly due to limitations on the maximum excitation energy a composite nucleus can sustain.

Heavy residue formation in 20 MeV/nucleon 197Au + 90Zr collisions
2002, Nuclear Physics A
The yields and velocity distributions of heavy residues and fission fragments from the reaction of 20 MeV/nucleon $^{197} Au +^{90} Zr$ have been measured using the MSU A1200 fragment separator. A bimodal distribution of residues is observed, with one group, resulting from peripheral collisions, having fragment mass numbers A=160–200 while the other group, resulting from “hard” collisions, has A=120–160. These “hard” collision residues can be distinguished from fission fragments by their velocities. A model combining deep-inelastic transfer and incomplete fusion for the primary interaction stage and a statistical evaporation code for the deexcitation stage has been used to describe the properties of the product distributions.
Statistical multifragmentation of nuclei
1995, Physics Reports
This review is devoted to the Statistical Multifragmentation Model (SMFM) developed in Copenhagen more than 10 years ago and widely used now for interpreting experimental data on multiple fragment production in different nuclear reactions. The model is based on the assumption of simultaneous break-up of a thermalized nuclear system. Basic principles and different realizations of the statistical approach to the nuclear multifragmentation are described in detail. Special emphasis is put on the implementation of specific nuclear features such as finite size effects, internal excitation of fragments, their strong and Coulomb interaction. Hot primary fragments are treated within the liquid-drop approximation. An efficient Monte Carlo method is proposed for generating microcanonical ensembles of break-up channels. Deexcitation of hot fragments via evaporation and Fermi break-up is also included in the numerical code. The evolution of nuclear disintegration mechanisms with increasing excitation energy, from compound nucleus to multifragmentation and vaporization, follows naturally from the model. Observable signals of multifragmentation are discussed and numerous applications of the model for analyzing experimental data are demonstrated. In particular, hybrid models, combining dynamical simulations of non-equilibrium stages of the reaction with statistical break-up of thermalized intermediate systems, are described. The “backtracing” method of reconstructing parameters of decaying sources from experimental data is also presented.
Deviations from pure target fragmentation in 94A MeV 16O induced heavy ion reactions
1990, Physics Letters B
The emission of low energy, 1A–6A MeV, medium size, Z=3–12, fragments in ¹⁶O + ²⁷Al reactions at 94A MeV has been studied. In addition to a fragmentation component with ∼ 15A MeV/c parallel- and transverse momentum shifts, another component with larger momentum width is needed to describe the results. An attempt to use the VUU prescription indicates that secondary decay from excited primary fragments is important.
