Bombarding energy dependence of the /sup 144/Sm+/sup 84/Kr reaction

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

Results are presented for the damped reaction /sup 144/Sm+/sup 84/Kr at laboratory energies of 470, 595, and 720 MeV, corresponding to 1.2, 1.6, and 1.9 times the Coulomb barrier energy, respectively. Correlations between angle, kinetic-energy loss, and charge of the projectile-like fragments are discussed. A probability for orbiting is observed at all bombarding energies, with fragment kinetic energies indicative of large exit-channel deformations. This study shows that energy dissipation (up to roughly-equal100 MeV) and charge exchange are correlated in a manner which appears to be independent of initial relative ion velocity. The results are compared with a classical dynamical transport model.
