Complete and Incomplete Fusion in the Reaction of 65Cu With 16O Ions

The excitation functions,angular distributions and differential range distributions have been measured for target residues from the reaction of ⁶⁵Cu induced by 45—96MeV ¹⁶O ions with radiochemical techniques.A comparison of the experimental data with Monte-Carlo simulations based on the statistcal model of compound nucleus that the heavy residues are produced by the decay of a compound nucleus formed by complete fusion.Incomplete fusion or massive transfer are the main reaction mechnisms leading to production of the residues with mass number close to that of the target.

Target Residues from the Interaction of Copper with 40MeV/u 40Ar Ions

Cross Sections and average forward recoil range FW were measured for target residues from the interaction of Cu with 40MeV/u ⁴⁰Ar ions using off-line y-ray spectroscopy.The mass yield distribution was obtained with assumption of charge distribution.The linear momentum transfer was calculated from FW values.A comparison with similar results of ¹²C+Cu and ²⁰Ne+Cu reactions indicates that the fractional linear momentum transfer,corresponding to central collisions,decreases with increasing projectile mass at the same energy per nucleon. However,the excitation energy of the composite system created from the collisions of Cu with ⁴⁰Ar ions reached the value of 5.3MeV /u and was higher than those from the collisions with ¹²C and ²⁰Ne ions.

CHARGE DISTRIBUTION IN THE FISSION OF 232Th BY 14MeV NEUTRON

Independent yields of ⁸²Br, ⁹⁶Nb, ¹¹²Ag, ¹³⁰I,¹³²I, ¹³⁴I, ^134mCs, ^135mCs, ¹³⁶Cs and upper limitof independent yield for ¹⁴⁰La in the fission of ²³²Th induced by neutrons of 14 MeVwere determined with nuclear chemistry techniques. The correlation of the fractionalindependent yields in the high yield mass chains with a Gaussian curve of charge dis-tribution has been investigated using various mass formulae and charge distributionhypotheses. The results indicate that the hrpothesis of minimum potential energy witha shell-effected mass equation gives the best fit to the data. The width parameter Cof the charge distribution is found to be 0.80. The large deviations of ³²Br and ¹¹²Ag from the Gaussian curve seem to show that the low yield in very asymmetric fissioncan be attributed to a narrower width of charge distribution, whereas the high yield insymmetric fission may correlate with a wider width. The trends have been explainedqualitatively in terms of a liquid drop model. There is no evidence for 40-proton subshell effect on the fission yield.     

Isotope Ratios of Light Charged Particles and Temperature in the Reactions 30MeV/u40Ar+112,124Sn

Coincidence measurements between residues and light charged particles (LCPs) have been made for the reactions 30MeV/u 40Ar+^112,124Sn. The LCPs were measured by 11 semi-conduct telescopes from very forward angle to backward angle. The times of flight of the residues were measured by PPACs installed concentrically around the beam at forward angle. The excitation energy of the primary hot nuclei was obtained from the velocity of residues in the frame of incomplete fusion model. The single isotope ratios, as function of observing angle and excitation energy have been studied. The ratio of ³He/⁴He and ⁶Li/⁷Li increases with angle while that of ⁶He/⁴He and ⁸Li/⁷Li decreases. The calculation of statistical theory can not reproduce the curve quantitatively, implying the existence of dynamic effect. Isospin effect of the primary hot nuclei on the single isotopic ratios is demonstrated. However, the temperature extracted from double isotope ratios is target independent.

The angular distributions of intermediate mass fragments with Z=3-19 emitted in 30 MeV/u ⁴⁰Ar+^58,64Ni and ¹¹⁵In reactions over an angular range of 5°—140°have been measured.Exponential distribution function: dσ/dΩ=N·exp(-θ/a) was used tO fit the measured angular distributions.We have extracted the decay factor a that can be connected with the interaction time τ, and the factor N that is related to the intensity of the emission source.The relationships of a(Z) with Z and N(Z) with Z for different reaction systems and different angular ranges have been discussed. The dependence of angular distributions on isospin and the symmetry of reaction system have also been discussed.     

Energy Correlations between Fragments and Light Charged Particles in Reaction of 25MeV/u 40Ar+115In

The correlations between the emitted fragments at θ_lab=15°and the light charged particles(LCPs) at the close geometry configuration in the reaction of 25MeV/u ⁴⁰Ar+¹¹⁵In were measured. The energy correlations between fragments (4≤Zf≤14) and the LCPs including proton, deuterium, tritium and a particle as well as the energy spectra of the LCPs were obtained. The result shows the existence of sequential decay mechanism. It is found that the peak position of angular correlation is at the small angles and the most probable correlation angle is at 2°or so; The peak positions of the two components in the energy spectra of LCPs increase gradually with the mass of correlated partner; The lighter primaly products are more easier to be excited and decay to IMFs and the LCPs. In the Sequential decay, the yield of the LCPs with more heavier mass is higher than that of the lighter LCPs. The result reveals that the total correlation yield ratios summed over the fragments of Z_f=4—14 are 1: 1. 3: 1. 78: 7. 57 for proton, deuterium, tritium and a particles, respectively.     

Cross sections and dynamical properties of a emitters produced in interactions of 12C at 86 MeV/n on medium and heavy targets

Cross sections, mean recoil ranges and angular distributions of radioactive a emitters produced in ¹²C, induced reactions at 1 GeV on medium and heavy targets are presented. A new on-line electrostatic collection device is used. A wide spectrum of heavy residues corresponding to various mass losses away from the target between D to 60 a.m.u. has been observed. A phenomenological analysis based on the statistical decay of possible precursors gives some information on the properties of the primary interaction. Losses of 10 to 30 nucleons can be partly fitted by the intranuclear cascade model. For greater mass losses, more collective primary interaction is needed. The abrasion-ablation model can produce such residues but in its clean cuts approximation the predicted excitation energy is too low.

The mass yield distribution is discussed in terms of the concepts of limiting fragmentation and factorization.

Pseudorapidity Distribution of Shower Particles in 24Mg-Emulsion Collisions at 4.5A GeV/c

The pseudorapidity distribution of shower particles produced in the ²⁴Mg-emulsion collisions at 4.5A GeV/c is reported in this paper. The dependences of the distribution width and the peak position on the target size are observed.The pseudorapidity distribution of shower particles for the events with low target multiplicity (light target) is narrower than that with high target multiplicity (heavy target). The maximum probability pseudorapidity for light target is greater than that for heavy target. The experimental data is analyzed by using the cylinder model suggested by Liu et al. The Monte Carlo results based on Liu's cylinder model are approximately in agreement with the experimental tendency and fluctuation.
