In-plane light particle correlations in 40 MeV/nucleon C+C, Ag, Au, and 50 MeV/nucleon C+C reactions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
Large angle correlations have been measured between two light particles (Z = 1,2) emitted from 40 MeV/nucleon C+C, Ag, Au, and 50 MeV/nucleon C+C reactions. The first particle is detected at theta = -45/sup 0/, and the second particle is detected in the same plane with -150/sup 0/less than or equal tothetaless than or equal to+150/sup 0/. The correlations are consistent with emission from a thermalized system that is constrained by momentum conservation effects. In addition, the decay of particle unstable states contributes heavily to the coincidence cross sections for p-p, p-t, p-/sup 4/He, d-/sup 4/He, t-/sup 4/He, and /sup 4/He-/sup 4/He correlations.
