Mass distributions in the reaction of 240 MeV /sup 12/C with /sup 197/Au

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
The mass distributions of fission products and targetlike products in the reaction of 20 MeV/nucleon /sup 12/C with /sup 197/Au were determined radiochemically. The charge dispersions of the fission products were found to have Gaussian shapes with a width parameter (2sigma/sup 2/) of 1.6 units and a most probable charge of 0.417A+1.4. As for near- and above-target products, the broad charge dispersions of A = 196 to 199 suggest contributions from two mechanisms, one corresponding to a quasielastic process and the other corresponding to deeply inelastic and/or complete fusion processes. The cross sections of above-target products were larger than the values expected from simple evaporation calculations.
