We have measured the formation cross sections and the recoil properties of the products from the interaction of 240 MeV 12C with natural Ag targets. From the data, we have constructed charge- and mass-distribution curves. With the measured recoil range and forward-to-backward ratios, we deduced the formation mechanisms, and found that the yields in the mass range between A = 40 and A = 70, with a total cross section of 6 ± 1 mb, were mainly formed by the fission process. The yields between A = 70 and A = 130, with a total cross section of 2300 ± 200 mb, were formed by direct reactions in which the target-like transfer reaction products contributed 1000 ± 100 mb and spallation reactions contributed 1306 ± 200 mb.

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.

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.

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.
We used nuclear track detectors to construct the trajectories of interactions and to measure with high resolution the charge of the beam and of heavy nuclear fragments produced in interactions. A null result of our search for fractional charge states in high-energy fragments with charges 8≤Z≤13 produced in collisions of 14.5A GeV Si28 nuclei with Pb and Cu targets leads us to conclude that the upper limits for the probability of production of a fragment with charge 23/3, 25/3, 26/3 28/3 29/3, 31/3 32/3, 34/3, 35/3, 37/3, or 38/3 charge unit in Pb and Cu at 90% confidence level are 1.9×10−4 and 3.9×10−4, respectively. We set a similar limit on the relative number of particle-stable fragments with 8≤Z≤14 created in the central rapidity region.

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.

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.
