Fragmentation of very neutron - rich projectiles around 132 Sn
We propose an experiment to isotopically identify and determine the production cross sections of residual nuclei in the fragmentation of very neutron-rich nuclei around Sn produced in the fission of relativistic U primary projectiles. These measurements will provide valuable information about a possible two-step reaction scheme (fission-fragmentation) to optimise the production of extremely neu...
متن کاملModel calculations of a two-step reaction scheme for the production of the neutron-rich secondary beams
Actually, the design of more powerful next-generation secondary-beam facilities is being intensively discussed. The main challenge is the production of neutron-rich isotopes, because the neutron-drip line has only been reached for the lightest elements. The traditional way for producing neutronrich nuclei is fission of actinides. Another approach introduced recently, based on cold fragmentation...
متن کاملCross sections of neutron-rich nuclei from projectile fragmentation: Canonical thermodynamic model estimates
A remarkably simple dependence of fragmentation cross-section on average binding energy has been established in experimental data. This dependence was empirically parametrised leading to a very useful formula for extrapolation. We find that the canonical thermodynamic model, which has been used in the past for successful computations of many observables resulting from multifragmentation, reprod...
متن کاملImproved Empirical Parametrization of Fragmentation Cross Sections
A useful tool to predict production cross sections of exotic nuclei in high-energy fragmentation reactions is a universal analytical formula called EPAX [1, 2]. This formula allows to calculate the yields from fragmenting all non-fissile projectiles in the range of projectile masses between about 40 to 209. The cross sections are assumed to be energy-independent and appear to be reliable at inc...
متن کاملReaction mechanisms involved in the production of neutron-rich isotopes
The reaction mechanisms best suited for the production of neutron-rich nuclei, fragmentation and fission, are discussed. Measurements of the production cross sections of reaction residues together with model calculations allow to conclude about the expected production rates of neutron-rich isotopes in future facilities.
متن کاملMeasuring Neutron Separation Energies Far from Stability
A method is proposed for the experimental measurement of neutron separation energies for nuclei far from stability. The procedure is based on determining cross sections for the production of nuclei, by projectile fragmentation, for which only protons are removed but for which the number of neutrons is left unchanged. A simple Abrasion-Ablation analysis leads to a cross section prediction which ...
