Nuclear chemistry progress report. [Dept. of Chemistry and Cyclotron Lab. , Univ. of Maryland, College Park, August 1, 1978 to July 31, 1979]
Research activities during the period August 1, 1978 to July 31, 1979 are summarized. The major effort has continued to be devoted to the study of nucleon exchange and energy dissipation mechanisms in damped heavy-ion reactions. Among the most significant accomplishments of the program during the past year has been the measurement of damped fragment spectra with discrete Z and A resolution. These studies provided detailed information on the A/Z equilibration and nucleon exchange processes in damped heavy-ion collisions, gave evidence for structure in the partially damped energy spectra for the Fe + Fe reaction, showed the importance of target-projectile mass asymmetry in governing the evolution of damped reactions, and gave tentative evidence for several new isotopes in the Z = 22 to 26 range. Other experiments utilized the fission-fragment angular correlation technique to determine the linear momentum transfer from projectile to target for /sup 16/O reactions in the 8- to 20-MeV/u region and to study simultaneously light-ion spectra (Z = 1 to 8) in coincidence with correlated events. These studies provided a much clearer picture of properties of central and peripheral collisions in heavy-ion reactions, as well as the transition between these two extremes. In addition, problems of Li, Be, and B nucleosynthesis and the relationship of these results to the question of the expanding universe were investigated. Individual sections with significant amounts of information are abstracted separately. (RWR)
