Near-scission emission of intermediate mass fragments in C¿Th at EÕAÄ16 and 22 MeV

چکیده
Intermediate mass fragments ~IMFS! ~IMF: 3<Z IMF<20) observed in coincidence with two correlated fission fragments following incomplete fusion in C1Th at E/A516 and 22 MeV are investigated. IMFs emitted prior to significant deformation of the fissioning system, as well as IMFs emitted near scission, are distinguished based upon their characteristic kinetic energy and angular distributions. The yield distributions of IMFs emitted near scission in theseC induced reactions are compared with near-scission IMF yields in spontaneous and low-energy ternary fission. Comparisons are made to both experimental fusion-evaporation data and theoretical predictions of a statistical model. The excitation energy dependence of relative IMF yields for both isotropic and near-scission emission is also presented. Our results for near-scission emission suggest that the production of IMFs near scission is inconsistent with a statistical emission mechanism in which emission barriers follow a standard Z dependence. Dynamical model calculations are used to investigate the role of dissipation, angular momentum, N/Z , and kinetic energy on the fragment formation near scission.

Comparison between cross sections, saddle point and scission point barriers for the 32S+24Mg reaction
One of the principal characteristics of nuclear multifragmentation is the emission of complex fragments of intermediate mass. The statistical multifragmentation model has been used for many years to describe the distribution of these fragments. An extension of the statistical multifragmentation model to include partial widths and lifetimes for emission, interprets the fragmentation process as t...

Multiplicity distributions of intermediate mass fragments observed in the reactions ' 0+""Ag and ' 0+' Au at E/A =84 MeV are compared to statistical model calculations. The emission of intermediate mass fragments from a highly excited (E /A ~ 6 MeV) 3=100 nucleus is found to be suppressed compared to the predictions of a sequential statistical evaporation model. This deficiency may be interpret...

The 58 N i + 58 N i reaction at 30 MeV/nucleon has been experimentally investigated at the Superconducting Cyclotron of the INFN Laboratori Nazionali del Sud. In midperipheral collisions the production of massive fragments (4≤Z≤12), consistent with the statistical fragmentation of the projectile-like residue and the contemporary dynamical formation of a neck, joining projectile-like and target-...
متن کاملMultifragment Production in Reactions of 112 Sn 1 112 Sn and 124 Sn 1 124 Sn at E y A 5 40 MeV
Multiplicities of intermediate-mass fragments (IMFs), neutrons, and charged particles were measured for 112Sn 1 112Sn and 124Sn 1 124Sn at EyA 40 MeV. Significantly different scalings of the mean IMF multiplicities with neutron and charged-particle multiplicities are observed for the two reactions. These differences can be qualitatively understood in terms of fragment emission from an expandi...
