The effect of statistical fluctuations on the measurement of the total energy and multiplicity ofγ rays following deep-inelastic reactions

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atoms and Nuclei

Abstract

We discuss the effect of statistical fluctuations on the first and second moments of both the intrinsic rotational energy and the sum of spin magnitudes in deep-inelastic fragments, as extracted from measurements of the totalγ-ray energy and theγ-ray multiplicity, respectively. The calculations were done in the framework of a model that considers the thermal excitation of rotational modes in the intermediate dinuclear complex, accounting exactly for the correlations between the angular momenta generated in both nuclei.
