Target-A dependence of light-ion emission from reactions induced by 100-MeV/u /sup 16/O

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The target-A dependence of cross sections for emission of energetic Z = 1,2 particles from 100-MeV/u /sup 16/O on Al, Ni, Sn, and Au targets is found to vary from an A/sup 1/3/ dependence at small angles to roughly-equalA/sup 2/3/ at theta>45/sup 0/, suggesting a smooth transition from peripheral to central collisions. The A dependence of /sup 2/H and /sup 3/H yields indicate that target neutrons contribute to the formation of these particles. Velocity and temperature parameters of a heated, moving source are given for projectile energies from 7.5 to 147 MeV/u.
