Very hot nuclear systems and their binary and multifragment decay

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6210156
Compound emission of complex fragments in the reaction {sup 63}Cu + {sup 12}C is used to determine the associated ridge-line potential. Compound binary emission of complex fragments at higher energies is illustrated for a variety of reactions. Complex fragment emission from 18, 26, 31, 35, 45 and 55 MeV/N {sup 139}La/{sup 129}Xe + {sup 12}C, {sup 27}Al, {sup 40}Ca, {sup 51}V, {sup nat}Cu and {sup 139}La reactions has been studied. Multifragment events from these reactions were assigned to sources characterized by their energy and mass through the incomplete-fusion-model kinematics. Excitation functions for the various multifragment channels appear to be nearly independent of the system and bombarding energy. Preliminary comparisons of the data with sequential-statistical-decay calculations are discussed. 16 refs., 9 figs.
