Investigation of Intermediate Mass Fragments Emitted in the Reaction of 294MeV 20Ne+159Tb

Intermediate mass fragments(2Z≤11) emitted from 294 MeV ²⁰Ne+¹⁵⁹Tb reaction have been measured by △E-E telescope counters at the angle of 10°—150°region.The energy spectra of the fragments at back angle(>90°) have bell shape,and their peaks locate near the Coulomb barrier of exit channel.The analysis of the energy spectra has been done in terms of moving source and indicate that all the fragments are emitted from a common source,the compound nuclei formed in incomplete fusion process.The charge and angular distributions of the fragments originated from the asymmetric binary decay of the formed compound nuclei have been calculated based on statistical GEMINI code,and the results are in well agreement with the experimental data.     

Evaporation of Intermediate-Mass Fragments From Hot-Nuclei in Reaction 40Ar+159Tb at 25MeV/u

The inclusive energy spectra of intermediate-mass fragments(IMF)(3≤Z≤9)have been measured in the range from 20°to 155°for ⁴⁰Ar+¹⁵⁹Tb reaction at 25MeV/u.At backward angles,the spectra of IMF show a characteristic of statistic evaporation and can be well fitted by a moving source with same parameters.The obtained source velocity and temperature are in agreement with the corresponding values of hot nuclei produced in an incomplete-fusion process.Therefore,it seems that there IMF are statistically evaporated from a same source.The experimental results have for compared with the predictions of the statistical model using GEMINI code.     

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.     

Element Distributions of Intermediate Mass Fragments Emitted in 30 MeV/u 40Ar+58,64Ni and 115In Reactions

The element distribuhons of intermediate mass fragments (IMF) emitted over an angular region of 5°—140° have been measured in the reachons of 30MeV/u ⁴⁰Ar+^58,64Ni and ¹¹⁵In. Within 20°—80° range the IMFs with Z=3-24 were observed. The IMF production cross section changes smoothly with its charge number,and the element distribuhon changes continuously when the IMF charge number increases across the charge number of the projectile. There is no strong dependence of the element distribution on the charge number of the projectile in this angular region.The transition nature of the reaction mechanism in the intermediate energy region and the power law of the IMF element distribution,as well as the dependence of element distributions on the threshold of the detectors were discussed.

Analysis of the Energy Autocorrelation Functions in Dissipative Heavy Ion Collision of 27Al+27Al

The excitation functions of the dissipative fragments emitted from the reaction of ²⁷Al+²⁷Al have been measured in the energy region from 114MeV to 127MeV in steps of 200keV. The detection system covered continuous angles from 10° to 57° in laboratory system. The energy autocorrelation functions of the dissipative fragments have been analyzed by using different approaches,especially using the statistical nuclear reaction model with memory. The results indicate that the intermediate dinuclear system formed in the dissipative process is set in a damped coherent nuclear rotation which causes the nonself averaging oscillation structure in the excitation functions and originates from a typical quantum chaotic motion.     

The Angular Distributions of intermediate Mass Fragments Emittsd in 30 MeV/u 40Ar+58,64Ni and 115In Reactions

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.     

Space-Time Evolution During Emission of Intermediate Mass Fragmentform 40Ar+159Tb Reaction at 30 MeV/u

The emission time of intermediate mass fragments has been studied as afunction of spatial evolution of the source for ⁴⁰Ar+¹⁵⁹Tb reaction at 30 MeV/u.Reduction of the mass number of source has a very small effect on the extractedemission time. For the high-energy fragments with a short emission time ≤100fm/c,a smaller nuclear density would lead to a smaller assignment for, therefore thevalues extracted in the normal nuclear density could be taken as upper limits of realvalues. For the low-energy fragments, their emission times do not vary with size ofthe source and these values could be taken as real values.

Time Scsle for Emission of Intermediate Mass Fragments in E/A=30MeV 40Ar+natAg Reaction

Fragment-fragment conelation functions have been measured in E/A=30 MeV ⁴⁰Ar+^natAg reaction via the technique of intensity interferometry. Emission times of intermediate mass fragments have been extracted from reduced velocity correlation functions by using the threebody trajectory model. The average emission time of intermediate mass fragments varies with the energy of fragments. It decreases from about 300fm/c for low energy fragments to about 80fm/c for energetic fragments. After subtmcting the contribution of projectile-like fragments, average emission times of mid-rapidity fragments are of the order of 250fm/c for this reaction.It indicates that intermediate mass fragments emitted in this reaction mainly come from sequential binary decays.     

THE MASSIVE TRANSFER IN 12C+197Au REACTION

In this paper, we present energy spectra and angular distributions for the α-par-ticles emitted in the reaction of ¹²C+¹⁹⁷Au at 64 and 67 MeV and for α, Be and B emittedin the reaction at 71.5 MeV. The most-probable energles of the variousproducts emittedin this reaction decrease.with decreasing incident energy. The angular distributions peak near grazing angle.The peak position of the angular distributions shift from--80°to--120°while the projec-tile energy decreases from 71.5 MeV to 64 MeV. These all show the features of the transferreaction.

The coross section of the ³Be is only few percent at the same angle.     

Temperatures and Excitation Energies of Hot Nuclei in Reactions of 40Ar+natAg,209Bi at MeV/u

Coincidence measurements of fission fragment and light charged particle have been perfotrmed for the reactions of ⁴⁰Ar+^natAg,²⁰⁹Bi at E/A=25MeV using 4 PPAC and 11 sets of ΔE-E telescopes.Angular correlations of fission fragment were ploted as a function of the folding angle between the two detected fission fragments.The linear momentum transfer distributions were derived by measuring angular correlations.The backward spectra of light particles detected in coincidence with fission fragments having different average〈LMT〉are analyzed with Maxwell distribution.After some corrections the initial temperatures of the hot nuclei are determined from the energy spectra.The excitation energies corresponding to the different average〈LMT〉are obtained considering the reaction Q values and pre-equilibrum emission.In the central collision of the ⁴⁰Ar+^natAg,²⁰⁹Bi reactions,excitation energies are measured to be about 4.2MeV/u,2.4MeV/u and temperatures about 6.1MeV,5.5MeV,respecdvely.In semi-central collision,excitaionen energies are measured to be about 3.5MeV/u,1.9MeV/u and temperatures about 5.8MeV,4.8MeV respectively.

Excitation Energy and Temperature of Compound Nuclei in the Reaction of 35MeV/u 40Ar+197Au

The fission fragments in the reaction of ⁴⁰Ar+¹⁹⁷Au have been measured coincidently with light charged particles at 35MeV/u by using large area position sensitive detectors and Si-detectors. The velocities of the fissioning compounds are deduced based on the fragments and the excitation energies of the compounds calculated with a hypothesis of massive transfer and taking into account the influence of pre-equilibrium emission of light particles. As the same time,the temperatures of the compounds are extracted by using the energy spectra of the backward light charged particles measured coincidently with fission fragments. The temperature-excitation energy curve does not present the behaviour predicted by the theories.     

MEASURMENT OF PROJECTILE-LIKE FRAGMENTS PRODUCED BY 80.6MeV16O ON 27Al

The projectile-like fragments produced by 80.6MeV ¹⁶O on ²⁷Al were measured using the large area position sensitive ionization chamber. The energy spectra, angular distributions, contour plots of d²σ/dΩdE in the E-θ plane of the reaction products from Li to Na and the Z-distribution were obtained. The cross sections of the quasi and deep inelastic scattering were introduced. A brief discussion of the experimental results is also given.     

Measurement of Angular Cross Correlation of the Cross Section Fluctuation in Dissipative Collision 27Al+27Al

The excitation function was measured from θ_lab=10.4° to 57.4° in dissipative collision ²⁷Al+²⁷Al with incident energy ranging from 114 to 123 MeV in step of 200 keV. The Angular-cross Correlation Functions (ACFs) of cross section fluctuation within large angle region were obtained through experiment for the first time. It is found that the angular coherent width is at least 40°. It is interesting that the ACFs is not simple bell shape but shows strong asymmetry. The over-all behavior is that ACF varies more quickly for the backward angles. Itis also noticed that the cross section fluctuation in the forward angle region (θ_cm<70°) shows much stronger angular coherence than in the backward angle region (θ_cm>70°). This angular dependence may be attributed to the coherent rotation effect of intermediate dinuclear system.     

STUDY OF DEEP INELASTIC COLLISION 12C+27Al AT ENERGY 61.8MeV

The contour plots of differential cross section in c.m. system and the angular distributions of emitted fragments were obtained. The calculated values of fully relaxed energies in deep inelastic collistions agree with the experimental values. The mean interaction time of di-nuclear system was estimated as from 1×10^－21s to 1.4×10^－22s     

Space-Time Evolution of Projectile-Like Fragment Emission for 40Ar +natAg Reaction at 30MeV/u

The emission time of intermediate mass fragments (IMF) has been studied as a function of spatial evolution of the emission source for ⁴⁰Ar+^natAg reaction at 30MeV/u, and the spatial-time evolution of projectile-like fragments emission has also been discussed. The investigation for spatial-time evolution of the reaction system shows that the emission time of the IMF mainly depends on the correlation functions and the density of nuclear matter, and that it is not sensitive to the mass number of emitting sources. For high-energy fragments, a smaller nuclear density would lead to a smaller assignment for emission time τ; therefor the τ values extracted from the normal nuclear density could be taken as upper limits of real τ values. For the mid-velocity fragments, their emission times do not change with size of the source and these τ values could be taken as the real values directly.     

The Study of α Emission Induced by 46.7MeV/u 12C on 58Ni、115In and 197Au

The energy spectra and angular distribution of α particles emitted from ¹²C induced reactions with ⁵⁸Ni,¹¹⁵In and ¹⁹⁷Au have been measured.Three moving sources of emitting α particle are clearly seen from invariant cross section distribution in velocity coordinates.The experimental data were analyzed by using three moving sources.Extracted parameters of the source with half-beam velocity are in agreement with the systematic values from Fermi Gas Model.The energy spectra and the extracted parameters for various targets are discussed.The low energy peak in energy spectra is possibly from the emitted α particle from equilibrium system after pre-equilibrium emission of target-like products.The energetic α particles are mainly from projectile fragmentation and projectile-like fragmentation.     

Relaxation of Isospin Degree of Freedom in the Reactions 36Ar+112,124Sn at 35MeV/u

Isotope ratios,defined as the yield ratio of two isotopes with the same charge,were analyzed as a function of kinetic energy of outgoing particles at 20° in the reactions of ⁴⁰Ar+^112,124Sn and 5°in³⁶Ar+^112,124Sn at incident energy of 35MeV/u. Isotope ratios between the neutron-deficient isotopes and stable isotope increase with kinetic energy,while those between the neutron rich isotopes and stable isotope decrease. This different behavior was observed similar for both ¹¹²Sn and ¹²⁴Sn targets. The isotope ratios show rather obvious target dependence at 20° and little target dependence at 5°. As the outgoing energy getting down,the N/Z ratio of the fragmentation products at 5° diverts gradually from the N/Z ratio of the projectile to that of the system. These observations indicate that the isospin degree of freedom does not reach complete equilibrium in the peripheral or semi-peripheral collision at this bombarding energy.
