We have investigated the particle production and fragmentation of nuclei participating in the interactions of 10.6 GeV/n gold nuclei in nuclear emulsions. A new criterion has been found to distinguish between the interactions of these gold nuclei with the light (H,C,N,O) and heavy (Ag, Br) target nuclei in the emulsion. This has allowed separate analyses of the multiplicity and pseudo-rapidity distributions of the singly charged particles emitted in Au-(H,C,N,O) and Au-(Ag,Br) interactions, as well as of the modes of breakup of the projectile and target nuclei. The pseudo-rapidity distributions show strong forward asymmetries, particularly for the interactions with the light nuclei. Heavy target nuclei produce a more severe breakup of the projectile gold nucleus than do the lighter targets. A negative correlation between the number of fragments emitted from the target nuclei and the degree of centrality of the collisions has been observed, which can be attributed to the total destruction of the relatively light target nuclei by these very heavy projectile nuclei.

Charge changing cross-sections of the neutron rich isotopes Li-8, Li-9, Li-11

Inspire Record 333513 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.16579

Total charge-changing cross sections have been measured for8Li on C and Pb targets, for9Li on C, Al, Cu, Sn and Pb targets, as well as for11Li on C, Sn and Pb targets at about 80 MeV/nucleon. These data are compared to measured total reaction cross sections and Glauber-type calculations using Hartree-Fock density distributions. These comparisons allow to draw conclusions on the proton density distribution of the neutronrich lithium isotopes. The results show that even for the most exotic nucleus11Li the proton distribution is only very weakly influenced by the long tail in the neutron density distribution already established in several experiments.

Loss of memory of target nucleus deformation axis in heavy ion fusion fission

Hinde, D. J. ; Pan, W. ; Berriman, A. C. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.C 62 (2000) 024615, 2000.
Inspire Record 530771 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.25429

Fission fragment cross sections and angular anisotropies have been measured to high accuracy following fusion of 16O with the strongly deformed nucleus 182W, at bombarding energies spanning the fusion barrier region. Together with existing evaporation residue data, they show that at all the beam energies, the statistical transition state model adequately describes the fission properties measured. No significant evidence was found for a memory of the different configurations at fusion resulting from the target nucleus deformation, in contrast with previous measurements for deformed actinide nuclei.

The fragmentation topology of28Si at 3.7A GeV and 14.6A GeV and32S at 200A GeV in reactions with emulsion nuclei is presented. The fragmentation cross sections are very similar at all three energies. A statistical percolation model can qualitatively describe the data forZ≥ 6. The He production is underestimated and the 3 ≤Z ≤ 5 fragments overestimated by this model.

Fusion enhancement in the 32,38S+Ta-181 reaction

We measured the capture-fission excitation functions for the 32S+181Ta reaction and the 38S+181Ta reaction. (The radioactive 38S beam was produced by projectile fragmentation.) In the 32S-induced reaction, an incomplete fusion component was observed at high energies, with an average linear momentum transfer corresponding to the escape of an α particle. The deduced interaction barrier heights were 130.7±0.3 and 124.8±0.3 MeV for the 32S- and 38S-induced reactions, respectively. No differences between the two reactions were observed beyond a simple shift in the interaction barrier height.

A typical beam energy resolution was 0.01 TO 0.1 MeV. In the S32-induced reaction, an incomplete fussion component was observed at high energies, with an average linear momentum transfer corresponding to th e escape of an alpha patticle. The deduced interaction barrier heights were 130 .7+-0.3 and 124.8+-0.3 MeV for the S32 and S38-induced reactions respectively.

A typical beam energy resolution was 0.01 TO 0.1 MeV.


Sources of Complex Fragment Emission in Lanthanum Induced Reactions at $e$ / a = 14.7-{MeV} and 18-{MeV}

Charity, R.J. ; Jing, K.X. ; Bowman, D.R. ; et al.
Nucl.Phys.A 511 (1990) 59-91, 1990.
Inspire Record 281064 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.36871

Complex fragments with 4 ⩽ Z ≲ 50 have been detected in the reactions of 139 La + 12 C and 27 Al at E / A = 14.7 and 18.0 MeV. From the measured angular distributions, the cross sections for the isotropic, target-like and projectile-like components were extracted. The roles of deep-inelastic, fast-fission, and incomplete fusion processes, and the statistical, compound nucleus emission of complex fragments are discussed.

Electromagnetic Dissociation of 200-{GeV}/$N ^{16}$O and $^{32}$S Ions in Nuclear Emulsions

Baroni, G. ; Bisi, V. ; Breslin, A.C. ; et al.

Inspire Record 294682 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.36830

This work represents the results of an experimental investigation of the electromagnetic dissociation of 200 GeV/nucleon 16 O and 32 S ions in nuclear emulsions. Exclusive channels involving charged fragments have been studied as a function of the energy released, and, assuming a Weizsäcker-Williams spectrum of virtual photons, there is a good agreement with results for the (γ, p) processes obtained with real photons. However, the rates found for other processes are larger, in particular for the (γ, α) on both nuclei. The values of the total integrated absorption cross sections are generally larger than those obtained from real photon experiments but the extent of the discrepancy depends strongly upon which photon results are used in the comparison.
