Total inclusive neutron cross sections and multiplicities in nucleus-nucleus collisions at intermediate energies

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
The total integrated inclusive cross section, sigma(T>T/sub 0/), for the emission of neutrons above an energy T/sub 0/ by neon ions with an average energy of 337 MeV per nucleon reacting in targets of uranium, copper, aluminum, and carbon is described by sigma-bar/sub NN/(R-bar/sub G//r/sub o/)/sup( alphaT/o). Here sigma-bar/sub NN/ is the isospin-averaged nucleon-nucleon cross section evaluated at an energy equal to the bombarding energy per nucleon, and R-bar/sub G/ is the arithmetic mean value of the radii of the projectile and the target measured in units of the radius parameter r/sub 0/ ( = 1.2 fm). In the limit T/sub 0/ = 0, the exponent ..cap alpha..(T/sub 0/) = 5. A useful formula is derived for calculating mean neutron multiplicities in nucleus-nucleus collisions.
