Correlated fragment production in /sup 18/O-induced reactions at E/A = 84 MeV

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Correlations between intermediate-mass fragments (IMF's) and heavy fragments were measured for /sup 18/O-induced reactions on /sup nat/Ag and /sup 197/Au at E/A = 84 MeV. Correlations of two coincident IMF's show a depletion at small relative velocities v/sub rel/less than or equal to1 cm/ns, reflecting the proximity of the two IMF's at the point of creation. However, the time scales for IMF emission derived from this correlation are similar to those of binary-IMF--heavy-recoil coincidences which indicates a sequential nature of multifragment emission in these reactions.
