Abstract

Angular distributions, mass distributions and excitation functions have been measured for the heavy fragments 35 ≦ A ≦ 60 produced in the bombardment of 50Ti by 32S at beam energies between 121 and 166 MeV. The angular distributions are of the form (sinθ)−1 for all masses, although slight deviations do occur. The mass distributions exhibit a striking energy dependence with a strong trend towards symmetric mass divisions at high energies. The excitation functions agree qualitatively with the predictions of the rotating liquid drop model.
