The role of phase space in complex fragment emission from low to intermediate energies

Conference ·
OSTI ID:385555
The experimental emission probabilities of complex fragments by low energy compound nuclei and their dependence upon energy and Z value are compared to the transition state rates. Intermediate-mass-fragment multiplicity distributions for a variety of reactions at intermediate energies are shown to be binomial and thus reducible at all measured transverse energies. From these distributions a single binary event probability can be extracted which has a thermal dependence. A strong thermal signature is also found in the charge distributions. The n-fold charge distributions are reducible to the 1-fold charge distributions through a simple scaling dictated by fold number and charge conservation.
