Isotopic scaling in nuclear reactions.

Isotopic trends in nuclear multifragmentation

An overview of the recent progress in the studies of nuclear multifragmentation is presented. Special emphasis is put on the exploration of isotopic trends in nuclear multifragmentation and the possibilities to extract physical information related to the nuclear equation of state. Relevant experimental methods of isotope identification are described. The isotopic composition of fragments is use...

Isotopic effects in multifragmentation and the nuclear equation of state

Isotopic effects in spectator fragmentations following heavy-ion collisions at relativistic energies are investigated using data from recent exclusive experiments with SIS beams at GSI. Reactions of C on Sn at incident energies 300 and 600 MeV per nucleon were studied with the INDRA multidetector while the fragmentation of stable Sn and radioactive Sn and La projectiles was studied with the ALA...

Isoscaling and its Statistical Interpretation

The scaling properties of cross sections for fragment production with respect to the isotopic composition of the emitting systems were studied long ago in light-ion induced reactions [1]. Recently, the isoscaling was also reported for heavy-ion reactions [2]. It is constituted by the exponential dependence of the production ratios R21 for fragments with neutron number N and proton number Z in r...

Temperature and Scaling studies from Projectile

Temperature and Scaling studies from Projectile Fragmentation of Kr+Ni at 35 MeV/A. (August 2009) Sara Katherine Wuenschel, B.S., LeTourneau University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Sherry J. Yennello Many observables have been developed to study the effects of the two component nature of nuclei. This thesis has experimentally probed caloric curves as well as scaling observables for their de...
