Title: Two-, three-, and four-particle exit channels in the reaction (806 MeV) Kr + U

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

Mica track detectors employing the 2..pi..-geometry technique are used for coincidence measurements of multiple fragments in reactions induced by heavy ions. The nature of multiple fragment heavy ion induced reactions is shown to be binary from direct evidence. The process /sup 84/Kr + /sup nat/U at 9.6 MeV/u is studied as an example. Heavy fragments in the two-, three-, and four-particle exit channels are identified with respect to their masses and energies. Specific fragment-fragment correlations revealed the sequential nature of the reactions. Distributions of mass, energy, and angle are presented for the different reaction steps and the different exit channels.
