Observation of composite nuclei at very high temperatures

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atoms and Nuclei

Abstract

Analysis of data collected with a 19.5 MeV/A40Ar beam on a target of27Al shows strong evidences for the formation of very excited composite nuclei. Incomplete linear momentum transfer remains small and the excitation energies per nucleon can be estimated to be close to 5 MeV.

Additional information

The authors wish to thank the SARA accelerator staff for the excellent beams they have provided. These experiments have only been made possible because of the help and competence of the technical staff of the Institut de Physique Nucléaire d'Orsay where the experiment set-up was developped. Special thanks are due to F. Bartol, G. Corbé and M.Th. Commault whose constant assistance has always been greatly appreciated.
