Abstract

From backward-angle correlation measurements, an emission temperature of the target-like fragment is extracted by means of the relative population of excited states of emitted light clusters. Values of the temperature of T=2.2_−0.2^+0.3 MeV and T=2.9±0.7 MeV are obtained respectively for the ⁴He and ⁶Li cases. Our finding is consistent with the emission of a thermalized system after excitation energy relaxation.

Excited state populations for equilibrium and preequilibrium emission
1994, Physics Letters B
Populations of excited ⁵Li and ⁶Li fragments have been measured for the ³He + Ag reaction at 200 MeV. At forward angles, fragments emitted via preequilibrium mechanisms display population probabilities that are consistent with emission temperatures of about 4 MeV, comparable to other measurements of preequilibrium processes. In contrasts, fragments emitted to backward angles display much smaller population probabilities consistent with emission temperatures of about 1 MeV. Such low temperatures are consistent with residue excitation energies predicted by molecular dynamics calculations.
