Pre-emission of. cap alpha. particles in deep-inelastic reactions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
In-plane angular and energy correlations between ..cap alpha.. particles and heavy ejectiles have been measured for the reaction /sup 14/N+/sup 58/Ni at 148 MeV. The coincidence cross sections may be parametrized as a product of singles cross sections for the detection of ..cap alpha.. particles and heavy ejectiles. The observed correlations indicate that the ..cap alpha.. particles are emitted at an early stage, prior to the formation of the deep-inelastic fragments.
