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.     

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.

High-energy fragments produced in the84Kr+93Nb reaction at 34.5 MeV/u

We have studied the heavy-ion capture reaction⁹Be(¹²C,γ)²¹ Ne at E_CM=3.5–6.6 MeV and Θ = 90. High-energyγ-rav decay to the low-lying states of²¹Ne was observed, even well below the Coulomb barrier.     

Mass and charge flow in the reaction 7.1 MeV/u197Au+63Cu

Mass-yield and angular-distribution data are presented for products from the reaction of 7.1 MeV/ ¹⁹⁷Au with⁶³Cu. With help from information derived from the latter, the former are classified into components corresponding to quasielastic transfer (580±80 mb), deep-inelastic transfer plus quasifission (1300±130 mb), fusionfission (195 mb), and sequential fission (195±45 mb). The fusion excitation function calculated with the Dynamic Capture model standard parameter set reproduces our deduced fusion-fission cross section well. Moreover, using this cross section as well as additional published data for the same reaction system, we extract ans-wave fusion-barrier shift (extra push) for this system of 35±7 MeV, which is in good agreement with the systematics derived from other fusion-barrier shifts which have been reported in the literature. Lastly, support is found for the Dissipative Diabatic Dynamics model prediction that dynamically-hindered fusion trajectories are reflected into quasielastic channels.Research supported by the Bundesministerium für Forschung und Technologie under contract number 06 MR 553

Dynamical intermediate-mass fragment production in197Au+197Au collisions at energies ≤15 MeV/u

We present radiochemical data on the production of intermediate-mass fragments (IMF, 11≤Z<≈25) in collisions of¹⁹⁷Au+¹⁹⁷Au at 9, 11, 13 and 15 MeV/u. We demonstrate that the IMFs are produced in two-step reactions: Highly excited heavy nuclei are formed in a binary deep-inelastic reaction, and the IMFs originate from fast mass-asymmetric sequential fission of these primary reaction products.     

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.     

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.

Diffusion model predictions for heavier systems: The reaction 197Au + 620 MeV 86Kr

The cross sections and angular distributions for fragments emitted in the reaction 620 MeV ⁸⁶Kr + ¹⁹⁷Au have been calculated using the Diffusion Model to describe the approach to equilibrium of the reaction system along the mass-asymmetry coordinate. The calculated quantities are compared with experimental results, and extensions of the theory are discussed.     

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.     

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.     

Investigation of the 40Ar + 197Au, 238U systems at 44 MeV/u

We have measured the angular correlation between two fragments emitted in the reactions Ar + Au and Ar + U at 44 MeV/u at GANIL. The aim was to investigate the amount of initial linear momentum transferred from the projectile to a fissioning nucleus. It turned out that this amount is much smaller than can be extrapolated from previous experiments. Furthermore, the probability of forming a fissioning nucleus is very small.     

Nucleon transfer in highly mass-asymmetric reaction systems between197au and relatively light projectiles in the energy region below 10 MeV/u

Mechanisms of heavy-ion induced nuclear reactions in mass-asymmetric systems were studied by focusing on the nucleon transfer reaction. Excitation functions and projected mean recoil ranges for the target-like products in³⁷-,¹⁶O-,¹⁴N-, and¹²C-induced reactions on¹⁹⁷Au were measured by means ofγ-ray spectrometry. The energy range studied was near the Coulomb barrier of the systems with incident energies below 10 MeV/u. Nucleon transfer reactions were discussed by distinguishing the products from quasi-elastic transfer (QET) and those from deep inelastic transfer (DIT). The tendency towards equilibration of theN/Z value and the energy damping, which are the characteristic features of DIT, were found in the production of Au isotopes. Observations are consistent with the generally accepted concept that QET takes place along a trajectory near the Coulomb trajectory. QET was made to be connected with the interaction radius and most of the cross section ratios were reproduced well by an extended tunneling model.     

Temperature and excitation energy of hot nuclei in the reaction of 40Ar+197Au at 25 MeV/nucleon

The coincidence measurements between heavy fission fragments and light charged particles with Z ⩽ 2 were carried out for the ⁴⁰Ar+¹⁹⁷Au reaction at 25 MeV/nucleon, to study the properties of hot nuclei in heavy ion induced reactions. The linear momentum transfers (LMTs) were deduced from the folding angle and the time-of-flight difference between two fission fragments of heavy residues. The relationship of the nuclear temperature (slope parameter of the energy spectrum) and the excitation energy was determined independently from the measurement of the kinetic energy spectra in the frames of the emitting sources and from the LMT analysis. Both the temperature and the excitation energy increase with decreasing impact parameter, which suggests that a plateau temperature of 5.5 MeV is reached at an excitation energy of 3.1 MeV/nucleon. The result was also compared with various statistical models that explain the plateau by the multifragmentation process, where the excitation energy is assumed to be stored in compression and expansion effects.     

A Semi-exclusive study of heavy-residue production in the40Ar + Ag reaction at 35 MeV/u incident energy

Heavy residues created in the reaction Ar + Ag at 35 MeV/u have been detected at various forward angles. Their velocity spectra (quite different from the corresponding spectra measured at 27 MeV/u) show that these events result both from central and peripheral reactions and that the fusion component has dramatically decreased. Coincident light charged particles spectra have been obtained in a large solid angle forward hodoscope. The analysis of these spectra allows to differentiate peripheral and central collisions. The proton spectra are analysed in terms of emitting sources. There is no need for a participant zone in peripheral reactions. Instead protons are emitted either from the target like or from the projectile like fragments. However projectile sequential emission is not sufficient to explain all the high energy protons.
