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.     

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.     

Isospin Effect on Relative State Population Temperature in the Reactions 40Ar+ 112,124Sn at 30MeV/u

An array of 13 detector telescopes has been used for detecting small-angle particle-particle correlations in the reactions ⁴⁰Ar+^112,124Sn at 30MeV/u. The α-α correlation functions were extracted from two-particle coincident events. A three-body trajectory code MENEKA was used to calculate the background correlation function. The detection efficiency was calculated by using the Monte-Carlo method. After subtracting the background correlation and making the detection efficiency correction, the temperatures of 4.18±0.25 0.21 MeV and 4.10±0.22 0.20MeV are obtained from relative populations of ⁸Be states for the reaction systems with different isospin,⁴⁰Ar+¹¹²Sn and ⁴⁰Ar+¹²⁴Sn, respectively. From the relationship between the state population temperature and outgoing particle energies, it is found that the emission temperature decreases with increase of the particle energies for both studied reaction systems. For the neutron deficient system ⁴⁰Ar+¹¹²Sn the emission temperature is 5.13±0.30 0.26MeV for the lower emitting particle energies and 3.87±0.37 0.29MeV for the higher emitting particle energies. And for the neutron rich system ⁴⁰Ar+¹²⁴Sn the emission temperature is 5.39±0.30 0.26MeV for the lower emitting particle energies and 3.32± 0.28 0.23MeV for the higher emitting particle energies. This kind of isospin dependence is discussed.     

Entrance Channel Dependence of the Correlation Function of IMFs in 36Ar+112,124Sn at 35MeV/u

The reduced velocity correlation functions of the Intermediate Mass Fragments (IMFs) were measured in the reactions of ³⁶Ar+^112,124Sn at 35MeV/u. The anti-correlation at small reduced velocities is more pronounced in ³⁶Ar+¹²⁴Sn system than that in ³⁶Ar+¹¹²Sn system. The difference of the correlation functions between the two reactions is mainly contributed by the particle pairs with high momenta. A three-body Coulomb repulsive trajectory code (MENEKA) is employed to calculate the emission time scale of IMFs for the both systems. The time scale is 150fm/c in the ³⁶Ar+¹¹²Sn system and 120fm/c in the ³⁶Ar+¹²⁴Sn system, respectively. A calculation based on an Isospin dependence Quantum Molecular Dynamics code (IQMD) reveals that the emission time spectrum of IMFs is shifted slightly leftwards in ³⁶Ar+¹²⁴Sn compared with that in the ³⁶Ar+¹¹²Sn system, indicating a shorter emission time scale. Correspondingly, the central density of the hot nuclei decreases faster in ³⁶Ar+¹²⁴Sn than in ³⁶Ar+¹¹²Sn.     

INFLUENCE OF THE NEUTRON NUMBER OF TARGET NUCLEUS ON CROSS SECTIONS OF PARTICLES EMISSION IN 12C+112,124Sn

The energy spectra and angular distributions of Li, Be, B particles emitted from the ¹²C+¹¹²Sn and ¹²C+¹²⁴Sn reactions at E_L=70.0MeV are measured. The angular distributions of the Li, Be, and B particles are found to be peaked around the grazing angle, without any forward peaked component.
The experimental results also showed that the cross section for emission is larger in ¹²C+¹¹²Sn reaction than that in ¹²C+¹²⁴Sn reaction, in contrast with the cross sections for Li, Be and B emissions. The indicates the effect of the neutron number of the target nucleus on the emission probability.

Radial Expansion Flow in Reactions of 40Ca+58Fe and 40Ca+58Ni

By means of using an isospin-dependent Boltzmann-Langevin equation which includes isospin-dependent symmetry energy, Coulomb energy, isospin-dependent nucleon-nucleon cross sections, Pauli blocking, and initialization, the radial expansion flow of reaction systems ⁴⁰Ca+⁵⁸Ni and ⁴⁰Ca+⁵⁸Fe at 53, 100, 150, and 200 MeV/u in the central collisions were studied. It has shown that the more neutron rich system exhibits smaller radial expansion flow. It was found that the neutron rich system had smaller threshold energy which may provide a new method to determine the isospin dependent nuclear equation of state from calculated result and linear fitting result.

The dependence of angular distributions on isospin and the symmetry of reaction system have also been discussed.

Isotropic Distribution of the Projectile-Like Products in the Reaction 36Ar+124Sn at 35MeV/u

The projectile-like products at 5.3° in the reaction 35MeV/u 36Ar+ 124Sn were inclusively measured with good isotropic identification. With increasing kinetic energy, the average N/Z ratio of the products gradually decreases,approaching to that of the projectile. It is shown from the isospin dependent quantum mechanics(IQMD) that with the increasing of reaction time, the average kinetic energy of the projectile-like products decreases, while the N/Z ratio increases gradually. Moreover, the isotropic composition is obviously dependent on the impact parameter, and the N/Z ratio is becoming smaller with increasing collision centrality.

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.

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.     

Identification of High-Spin States in Odd-Odd 126I
