Binary break-up of a high-velocity hot source formed in the 84Kr+93Nb reaction at 34.5 MeV/u

The fragment production in the ⁸⁴Kr+⁹³Nb reaction at 34.5 MeV/u has been investigated by coincidence measurements. The observed fragment-fragment and fragment-particle correlations can be explained by a binary break-up of a high-velocity source having about 90% of the beam velocity and formed by a deep interaction between the projectile and the target.     

Heavy fragments emission in the 84Kr on 12C reaction at 35 MeV/nucleon

Heavy residues of collisions of ⁸⁴Kr + ¹²C at 35 MeV/amu were measured using time of flight ΔE?E telescopes. An important part of the total cross section leads to events that have all the characteristics of an equilibrated composite system decaying by heavy fragment emission. The experimental yields are well reproduced using a statistical model.     

Fissionlike exit channel in the 5.8 MeV/u84Kr on24Mg reaction

Fissionlike (FL) phenomena for systems around mass 100 have been shown previously interpretable in terms of dynamical fission. This appears to be dependent on the entrance channel mass asymmetry. We have studied the fissionlike exit channel in the⁸⁴Kr+²⁴Mg reaction atE(Kr)=5.8 MeV/u. This energy is just above the threshold of fission, so that a clear separation between the Deep Inelastic Component (DIG) and the FL one can be achieved. The bombarding energy corresponds to the same excitation energy in the composite system¹⁰⁸Cd (E ^*=101 MeV) as in the³²S (158 MeV) on⁷⁶Ge reaction we studied earlier and for which fusion-evaporation along with fission-like contributions were measured. The width of the FL distribution confirms the previously observed dependence with the mass asymmetry in the entrance channel which is consistent with the extra push model.     

Light fragments produced in40Ar+natAg reactions at 27MeV/u

Angular and energy distributions have been measured for products of 4≦Z≦12 from reaction of 1,095 MeV⁴⁰Ar+^natAg. In addition to sources located near the projectile and fusion system velocities, the data show the presence of a source located aroundV _beam/2 which cannot be explained by any existing model. A possible interpretation is proposed.     

Experimental evidence of highly energy relaxed products in the 35 MeV/u84Kr+197Au reaction

The Q_β-values of⁹⁹Rb,^99,100Sr and¹⁰⁰Y have been measured for the first time at the mass separator OSTIS of the ILL; for⁹⁹Y,^99,100Zr and¹⁰⁰Nb, the results of earlier experiments were confirmed with reduced experimental errors. The two-neutron binding energies derived from the experimental Q_β-values clearly indicate that the nuclei¹⁰⁰Sr and¹⁰⁰Y are strongly deformed.     

Investigation of the Kr + Au system at 22 MeV/u

With laser-atomic-beam-spectroscopy the hyperfinestructure splitting constants A, B and the lifetimes τ of the Mn I levels 3d⁵4s4p z⁴p_3/2,5/2 were determined from the UV intercombination lines 321,7 nm and 322,5 nm. We obtained: A=?821(3)MHz, B=?40(30)MHz, τ=1120(50)nsec for the J=3/2 level and A=?607,8(1,5)MHz, B=+75(15)MHz, τ=970(50)nsec for the J=5/2 level.     

Fission study for the system84Kr+232Th at 25, 35 and 45 MeV/u

Recoil velocities of heavy residues produced in the bombardment of⁸⁴Kr beams on a²³²Th target at energies about the Fermi velocity were determined using the method of correlations between fission fragments. The masses of both fragments were also measured. The data show events with high recoil velocity which are produced in incomplete fusion processes. Estimates of the energy transfer are given. Comparisons with incomplete fusion data obtained with other projectiles in the same incident velocity range show an increase of the energy transfer with the mass of the projectile.     

Peripheral collisions in the 84Kr + 92,98Mo,natAg and 197Au reactions at 22 MeV/u

Peripheral reactions induced on ⁹²Mo,⁹⁸Mo, ^natAg and ¹⁹⁷Au targets by 22 MeV per nucleon krypton beam were studied. Fragments observed with velocities close to the beam velocity can be interpreted as coming from a quasi-fragmentation of the projectile. The isotopic distributions measured for the fragments produced with the Kr projectile reflect some influence of the composite system. Thus it seems that projectile fragmentation is not the only mechanism involved in these reactions and that the mean field interaction still plays an important role at this energy.     

A fast-fission component with small mass drift in the reaction84Kr+27Al atE lab=5.9 MeV/u

All reaction products in the range from target- and projectile-like to fission-like fragments were measured for the system⁸⁴Kr+²⁷Al at 5.9 MeV/u beam energy. They are assigned to the various reaction mechanisms on the basis of experimental signatures (energy dissipation, mass and angular distribution). The sum of the measured partial cross sections, including the evaporation residue yield obtained previously, agrees with the total reaction cross section derived from elastic scattering. A small fast-fission component was found, discernible from deep-inelastic reactions by its 1/sin θ angular distribution, and distinguished from compound-nucleus fission by an incomplete mass asymmetry relaxation.

Angular momentum transfer and partition in the deep-inelastic reaction 664 MeV 84Kr + natAg

In- and out-of-plane angular distributions have been measured for sequential α-decay from target-like fragments produced in fully relaxed heavy-ion collisions. At angles equal to or larger than the target-recoil direction, the α-particle energy spectra are evaporation-like and the in-plane angular distributions are consistent with isotropy in the rest frame of the target recoil. The out-of-plane distributions exhibit an anisotropy of approximately two. Fragment spins were extracted from these distributions as a function of mass asymmetry. These spins are in agreement with those obtained from a simultaneous γ-ray multiplicity measurement. Both the fragment kinetic energies and intrinsic spins are consistent with rigid rotation of an intermediate complex consisting of two substantially deformed spheroids in near proximity.     

Shadowing of α-emitting fragments observed in 313 MeV32S+93Nb collisions

Energy- and angular correlations ofα particles in coincidence with deeply inelastic fragments from³²S+⁹³Nb reactions at 313 MeV were measured and the assumption of sequentialα emission from the fragments tested. In the direction of the detected light fragment too fewα particles from the heavy fragment are observed. This pronounced anomaly is ascribed to nuclear shadowing of theα particles by the proximate light fragment.     

The reaction238U +238U at 7.42MeV/u

One-particle-inclusive measurements have been performed for the charge, kinetic energy and angular distributions of reaction products from²³⁸U +²³⁸U at 1 766MeV (7.42MeV/u) incident energy. The deep inelastic products exhibit features similar to those seen in reactions induced by medium heavy nuclei: increasing particle transfer is observed with increasing energy damping, the angular distributions are peaked near the grazing angle, they broaden significantly with increasing energy loss and/or charge transfer. The dominant reaction mechanism, however, is found to be sequential fission of one or both primary reaction products. The reconstructed primaryZ- andQ-value distributions show more particle transfer at a given energy loss than in other systems, i.e. the diffusion process seems to proceed colder in this system. This is confirmed by relatively large cross sections for surviving deep inelastic reaction products belowZ=92. A direct search forα-decay or fission of superheavy nuclei being produced in a deep inelastic reaction and being implanted in a surface barrier detector resulted in an upper cross section limit of 2 ×10^?32cm².     

Study of the heavy products from84Kr+238U collisions at 522 MeV

Angular distributions and integral cross sections for heavy reaction products from⁸⁴Kr +²³⁸U collisions at 522 MeV were measured using catcher foil techniques and off-line X-ray identification of individual reaction product isotopes. There is no evidence for a fission-fusion mechanism being responsible for the formation of the “gold finger”. The data show that usual deep inelastic collisions account for the formation of all products with 70≦Z≦86. Compared to existing data atE≦605 MeV, the deduced mass distribution indicates reduced fission probabilities forZ≧80 fragments at 522 MeV. This is consistent with the expected dependence of fission probability on excitation energy and especially on angular momentum.

Time scale and freeze-out volume in the Xe + Cu reaction at 45 MeV/u

Correlations between Intermediate Mass Fragments were measured for the reaction Xe + Cu atE/A= 45 MeV/u. The velocity correlation function for central 3-fold events, depleted at small values of the relative coordinate, as typical for fast decay processes, reflects the mutual Coulomb repulsion between the emitted fragments. From the comparisons between a significant number of experimental observables and the predictions of the Berlin Multifragmentation Model, it appears that the data are compatible with a simultaneous multifragment emission.     

π− Production in16O +27Al at 38, 65 and 93 MeV/u

Negative pion production cross-sections are measured at 38, 65 and 93 MeV per nucleon in O + Al reaction. Rough estimations of the total cross sections are given and compared to previous neutral pion data. Double differential cross sections at 93 and 65 MeV/u show enhancement for pions with velocity close to the beam. At variance no effect is observed at 38 MeV, where π^? and π⁰ distributions are identical. Fewπ ⁺ detected at 38 MeV support this result. This indicates that at the lowest incident energy nearly the whole projectile participates in the production reaction.     

Inclusive fragment production in84Kr +197Au atE/A=35 MeV

Inclusive cross sections of intermediate mass fragments from the reaction⁸⁴Kr+¹⁹⁷Au atE/A=35 MeV were measured over the range 8°≦Θ _lab≦70° with a low detection threshold. A moving-source parameterization was used to fit the double-differential cross sections. The integrated cross section for fragment production exceeds the total reaction cross section thus indicating a large probability for multi-fragment processes. The deduced large temperature parameters can be explained by assuming emission from a rotating source. From the comparison to reactions with¹²C and⁴⁰Ar projectiles at E/A=30 MeV a systematics of inclusive fragment production as a function of the projectile mass is obtained.
