Studies of emissions of complex fragments and effective temperatures for collisions of /sup 58/Ni+/sup 58/Ni at 11 MeV/nucleon

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Complex fragments of nuclear charge Z from 4 to 13 were measured at five laboratory angles using surface-barrier-detector telescopes. Coincident ..gamma.. rays were measured in a 4..pi.. geometry using 64 NaI detectors. Kinematical analysis of the fragments revealed that those of Z between 4 and 9 are consistent with the decay of a compound nucleus formed in a complete fusion reaction. ..gamma.. rays of excited states of /sup 12/C, /sup 15/N, and /sup 16/O were measured and effective temperatures of about 2 MeV were extracted. Hauser-Feshbach calculations reproduce the measured cross sections and the effective temperatures very well.
