Origins of Intermediate Mass Fragments for 40Ar+natAg Reaction at 30 MeV/u

The energy spectra of intermediate-mass fragments (IMF) (3≤Z≤16) have been measured from 6° to 110° for ⁴⁰Ar+^natAg reachon at 30 MeV/u. The energy spectra were analyzed by the moving source model. The natUres of the projechle-like source, target-like source and mid-rapidity source as well as the evolution with angle and nuclear charge were discussed. Two intermediate mass fragments, measured by correlation method in forward angles, come from two sources. One comes from projectile-like source, and other one mainly comes from intermediate source respectively.     

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.     

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.     

Light Particle and Complex Fragments Emission from 12C Induced Reactions on 58Ni,64Ni at E/A=46.2MeV

Energy spectra of light charged particles and complex fragments emitted in the interaction of 46.2MeV/u ¹²C with different target ⁵⁸Ni,⁶⁴Ni,¹²C,¹⁹⁷Au and ²⁰⁹Bi have been measured by telescopes,consisting of CsI(Tl) and surface barrier detector stacks.These telescopes for light charged particles and complex fragments have good energy resolution and mass identification.The inclusive data have been analysed within a moving source parametrization.The complex fragment yields from different targets have been compared at several angles.The systematic variation of deduced isotope yields ratios with different reaction systems is used to detemine the N/Z degree of freedom equilibration of the system achieved.     

THE MEASUREMENT OF COMPLETE FUSION CROSS-SECTIONS FOR THE REACTIONS 12C+27Al, 12C+209Bi AND 14N+Pb

Mica track detectors were used for the measurement of evaporation residues and fission fragments of compound nuclei formed in ¹²C+²⁷Al, ¹²C+²⁰⁹Bi and ¹⁴N+Pb reactions. The complete fusion cross-sections and excitation functions were then obtained. By using the sharp cut-off model approximation, the values of the critical angular momenta were extracted from the complete fusion cross-sections. The results obtained were compared with the calculations based on current theories for critical angular momentum; they were found to agree within experimental uncertainties.     

Angular and Z Distributions of the Fragments at Forward and Intermediate Angles in the Reaction of 25MeV/u 40Ar+115In,58Ni,27Al

The angular & Z distributions of foe fragments emitted in the forward and intermediary angles are measured at the reaction of 25 MeV/u ⁴⁰Ar+¹¹⁵In,⁵⁸Ni,²⁷Al. Their characteristics are investigated based on the model of Modified Qantum Molecular Dynamics (MQMD). Generally, the theoretical calculations are in good agreement with the experiment data. But in the forward angles the yield of the fragments is underestimated by MQMD model while in the case of the intermediate angle region, the calculation is higher than the experiment data in some degree for the fragments whose charge numbers are in the vicinity of the proiectile. The angular & charge distributions of the fragments are also compared with the statistical model of GEMINI. The results turn out to be that a small proportion of the statistical evaporation component exists in the forward angles while in the intermediate angle region, this component increases to some extent. However, its ratio is still small. It is found that the equilibrium evaporation component decreases gradually when the Z of the fragments becomes smaller.     

Production of Helium Projectile Fragments in 16O-Emulsion Collisions at 60 A GeV

Production of helium projectile fragments in ¹⁶O-emulsion interactions at 60 A GeV is investigated. The total charge changing and partial production cross-sections are measured experimentally on the basis of helium multiplicity. The multiplicity distribution of helium projectile fragments obeys a KNO scaling. In the peripheral collision of ¹⁶O at 60 A GeV in nuclear emulsion, the production of target fragments depends on the multiplicity of helium projectile fragments linearly. The averge multiplicity of target fragments decreases with the increasing of the number of helium projectile fragments which can be well expliained by the model of participant-spectator (the nuclear geometric model) of nucleus-nucleus interactions.     

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.

RADIOCHEMICAL INVESTIGATION OF MASS DISTRIBUTIONS IN 12C-INDUCED FISSION OF 209Bi AND 238U

The yields of 15 and 17 fission, products have been obtained by radiochemical determinations in ¹²C-induced fission of ²⁰⁹Bi and ²³⁸U respectively. From these data, the mass distributions of fission fragments are calculated based on three different hypotheses for the charge distribution. The results seem to indicate that the hypothesis of equal charge displacement gives the best fit to the Gaussian distribution for the masses of the fission fragments. By comparison with the mass distributions for ²⁰⁹Bi (¹²C, f), ²³⁸U(¹²C, f) and ¹⁹⁷Au(¹²C, f) in our early measurement, we find that for fission parameter Z²/A>37, the width of the mass distributions increases with Z²/A rapidly.

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

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.     

Multiplicity characteristics in relativistic 24Mg-nucleus collisions

This work is concerned with the analyses of the shower and gray particle production in 4.5 A GeV/c ²⁴Mg collision with emulsion nuclei. The highest particle production occurs in the region of the low impact parameters. While the multiplicity of the shower particles emitted in the forward direction depends on the projectile mass number and energy, the multiplicity of the backward ones shows a limiting behaviour. The source of the emission of the forward shower particles is completely different from that of the backward ones. The target fragments are produced in a thermalized system of emission.     

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.     

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.     

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.
