Breakup of /sup 16/O and /sup 20/Ne at 9 MeV/nucleon

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

A high resolution study of the breakup of /sup 16/O and /sup 20/Ne has been made at 9 MeV per nucleon. The experimental configuration preferentially detects sequential breakup events. The dominant source of ..cap alpha..-/sup 12/C and ..cap alpha..-/sup 16/O coincidence events is the decay of excited states in /sup 16/O and /sup 20/Ne, respectively. The experimental technique and the reaction mechanism leading to sequential breakup are discussed.
