The end of incomplete fusion and the decoupling of the fireball as seen from complex fragment emission

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6248148
The incomplete fusion process is affected by the entrance channel asymmetry as well as by the bombarding energy. In the first part of the paper, the role of entrance channel mass asymmetry is explored by characterizing the resulting complex fragment sources in terms of their velocity, charge and excitation energy. In the second part evidence is given about the possible demise of incomplete fusion and the onset of the fireball regime from the anomalous charge and angular distributions of the emitted complex fragments. Complete ternary events are analyzed and discussed in terms of sequential binary decay. 14 refs., 8 figs.
