Nuclear research with heavy ions. Annual progress report, January 1-December 31, 1983
The research program is based upon experimental studies of reactions induced in complex nuclei by energetic heavy ion collisions. We are investigating the characteristics of different reaction modes or mechanisms and the transitions between them which depend on mass, charge, energy, and angular momentum in the entrance channels. In such interactions, highly excited transient nuclear systems may be produced and there is interest in probing their properties as reflectors of the behavior or nuclear matter under extreme conditions of temperature, density, and rotational forces. This report is intended to summarize the research progress in the past year and provides an overview of the continuing evolution in our experimental approach and theoretical understanding. Our work has emphasized the development and utilization of light-charged-particle emission as a dynamic probe of heavy-ion interactions through characteristic signatures which reflect nuclear shapes, effective temperatures, and spins.
