Strongly damped collisions in the $sup 84$Kr + $sup 209$Bi reaction
- eds.
Information on a new reaction mechanism, characterized by strongly damped collisions (SDC), is presented for bombardments of $sup 209$Bi with $sup 84$Kr ions from the Berkeley SuperHILAC. This process accounts for a significant fraction of the reaction cross section in interactions between heavy target nuclei and projectiles of $sup 40$Ar and heavier. The exit channel properties of the strongly damped collisions exhibit the following features: two fragments are emitted with masses near those of the target and projectile, although exchanges of several nucleons can occur; strong damping of the energy degree of freedom is observed; fragment energies are characteristic of deformed fission fragments, representing an attenuation of 100-150 MeV in the entrance channel energy, and the angular distribution for the $sup 84$Kr-like product is strongly peaked at an angle near the classical grazing angle. Measurements have been conducted with 600-MeV and 714-MeV $sup 84$Kr ions. These are compared with the work of Hanappe et al. at 525 MeV. (auth)
