Abstract

Inclusive energy spectra and angular distributions of Z ≦ 9 fragments from the Ne + AI reaction have been measured at 30 MeV/A. The spectra present three components. The high-energy component has a reduced momentum width σ₀ of approximately 65 MeV/c, which is lower than the values observed in reactions induced by relativistic heavy ions. Conversely, for the low-energy component, the results are rather similar to high-energy heavy-ion data.

Quasi-free stripping reactions - extended serber model (II)
1988, Nuclear Physics, Section A
We examine the validity of the model wave functions used in the extended Serber model for ⁴He, ⁷Li, ¹²C, and ²⁰Ne projectiles. It is shown that with a properly chosen truncation radius, truncated Yukawa wave functions reproduce the cluster momentum distributions obtained with microscopic wave functions. Thus, the basic concept, i.e., the quasi-free stripping mechanism involved in the original Serber model has been extended to complex projectiles. Applications of the extended Serber model to formation of beam-velocity fragments are presented, including ²²Ne induced reactions at 20 MeV/nucleon and the bombarding energy dependence of the momentum width in ²⁰Ne- and ¹⁴N-induced reactions. The complexity of the peripheral nucleus-nucleus collisions in the Fermi energy domain is discussed.
On the projectile fragmentation in heavy-ion reactions at intermediate energies
1987, Nuclear Physics, Section A
The two-body fragmentation of the projectile in the target field is described within a three-body dynamic model. Four types of reaction emerge: fusion at low energies and low impact parameters b, elastic and inelastic reactions at high b and two types of fragmentation in peripheral collisions. For high b the two projectile parts are emitted while for low b one fragment fuses with the target and only the other one can be detected. In the first case the part which has grazed the target has been strongly slackened and has a velocity of 0.7 V beam for small emission angles to 0.5 V beam for large angles. It might be a contribution to the relaxed fragment events detected at intermediate angles. In agreement with experimental data, the b² window for this kind of fragmentation is very narrow for heavy quasi-projectiles and widens with decreasing masses. This model allows to reproduce semi-quantitatively the mass distribution of the quasi-projectiles, the position of the maximum in the one- and two-peak energy spectra and the relative importance of the two types of fragmentation.
Projectile fragments isotopic separation: Application to the lise spectrometer at GANIL
1986, Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, A
The isotopic separation of intermediate-energy (30 to 100 MeV per nucleon) heavy-ion projectile fragments is theoretically and experimentally investigated. Physical separation of nuclides is achieved through magnetic analysis ( $A Z$ sensitivity) and differential stopping-power effects (Z⁻² sensitivity). Depending on the specific case, a complete mass and charge separation may be achieved or a few nuclides may be selected simultaneously. The projectile fragments isotopic separation method described allows us to obtain an experimental mass separation $A ΔA ≈ 100$ . Simple formulae are given to determine the optimum factors for the best separation and transmission of the device. First applications to the spectroscopy of exotic nuclei lead to the new observation of the beta decay of ³⁷P at GANIL and ¹⁵B at CERN.
Transitional mechanisms for fragment production in peripheral collisions at intermediate energies
1986, Nuclear Physics, Section A
The experimental situation of peripheral collisions around the Fermi energy is reviewed. The observation of transitional phenomena is emphasized. The competition between transfer reactions and fragmentation is shown to be a dominant feature of this energy range. The strong effect of the separation energies of the projectile and target into their participant and spectator fragments is shown to account for apparently contradictory behaviours as incomplete fusion and fragmentation. The different mechanisms responsible for the fragmentation process are discussed as well as the consequences for the production of new exotic nuclear species.
