Assesment of temporal effects in multifragment decay of highly excited nuclear systems

Journal Article · · Bulletin of the American Physical Society
OSTI ID:374862
Multifragment decays of central collisions in {sup 84}Kr +{sup 197}Au at E/A = 35, 55, and 70 MeV are studied. The dependence of the extracted emission time on the velocity of the fragment pair is investigated. More energetic pairs manifest a stronger Coulomb interaction indicating emission from a source of smaller spatial-temporal extent than less energetic pairs. This trend can be understood in the context of a statistical model which incorporates the de-excitation of the source as the fragments are emitted.
