Abstract

The centroids and widths of the excitation energy distribution for damped fragments produced in the ⁵⁶Fe + ¹⁶⁵Ho reaction at 9 MeV/nucleon have been determined. There exists a dependence of excitation energy division between the reaction fragments on energy loss and nucleon transfer.

Primary and secondary quasielastic cross sections from reactions of 8 A · MeV <sup>116</sup>Sn with <sup>48</sup>Ti
1992, Nuclear Physics, Section A
Primary and secondary cross sections were measured for different exit channels of quasielastic collisions of 8 A · MeV ¹¹⁶Sn with ⁴⁸Ti near the grazing angle. Angular and nuclide distributions were extracted from these data. The secondary projectile-like fragments were unambiguously resolved by means of a magnetic spectrometer. With the aid of a specifically designed detector system for recoiling target-like fragments, a complete reconstruction of primary exit channels and thus, the determination of primary cross sections were achieved for individual nuclides up to 50 MeV of total kinetic energy loss (TKEL) without using any model assumption. The comparison of primary and secondary quantities showed that secondary quantities represent only rough measures of primary ones. A qualitative explanation for the development of the system with increasing TKEL is found in the potential energy surface which appears to dominate the neutron exchange, while proton transfer proceeds independently of the potential.
Nuclear scission
1990, Physics Reports
Two models of nuclear exit channel reactions are examined: random neck rupture and multichannel fission. The foundations of both models are explained, and the algorithms for their usage are given. Ample experimental evidence for the validity of these models is presented. Especially fruitful is their synthesis. We now understand the properties of the fragments, which are produced in low-energy fission, much better than we did four years ago.
Aspects of kinematical coincidence measurements of excitation energy division in damped reactions
1990, Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, A
It is shown that the finite resolution inherent in the kinematical coincidence method leads to systematic errors in the deduced (primary) physical quantities if the latter are calculated based on mass and linear momentum conservation equations alone. As an example, application of this method for measuring excitation energy of the fragments from damped reactions is reviewed. In such a case, finite resolution effects generate significant instrumental, or “background” correlations between the physical quantities reconstructed in a straightforward fashion, hence, if not accounted for, they may lead to the qualitative misinterpretation of the data. Experimental measures are discussed which appear necessary in order to ensure proper accuracy of the finite resolution corrections. An alternative method of data analysis is presented which is much less susceptible to the finite resolution effects discussed.
Fission: A filter for the study of nuclear reaction mechanisms
1989, Nuclear Physics, Section A
The use of nuclear fission as a reaction filter to study the dynamics of low-to-intermediate energy nucleus-nucleus collisions has been widely exploited over the past decade. In particular, the fission fragment angular correlation (folding-angle) technique has been utilized to derive an understanding of linear momentum and energy transfer in projectile-nucleus interactions. These results illustrate the systematic evolution in reaction mechanisms from relatively simple processes such as complete fusion and peripheral transfer reactions at near-barrier bombarding energies to highly complex interactions dominated by precompound processes at intermediate energies. Studies of light charged particles, neutrons and complex fragments in coincidence with fission-tagged events demonstrate the growing influence of nucleon-nucleon collision mechanisms relative to the dinuclear mean field in determining the reaction dynamics with increasing projectile energy. The application of these same techniques to the investigation of the inverse fission process--damped collisions--has also yielded important new insights into this class of reactions and recent results for nuclide distributions and excitation energy sharing are described.
Nuclear scission
1989, Nuclear Physics, Section A
Nuclear scission is described by random neck rupture and random neck rupture is traced back to a series of instabilities. The paper contains a concise collection of formulas for the computation of the prescission shape and for the derivation of the mass distribution, the total kinetic energy, and the neutron multiplicity from that prescission shape. Evidence for the two main items of random neck rupture, namely rupture and randomness, is produced. Multichannel fission means that several prescission shapes occur.
Sharing of excitation energy in dissipative nucleus-nucleus collisions
1987, Nuclear Physics, Section A
The sharing of the total excitation energy on both fragments in dissipative nucleus-nucleus collisions is studied on the basis of the dissipative diabatic dynamics. Numerical calculations are performed for the systems ⁹⁸Mo + ¹⁴⁷Sm and ⁹⁸Mo + ²³⁸U. In agreement with experimental results the excitation energy per particle is larger for the lighter fragment and increases with increasing asymmetry of the system. The dependence on the total excitation energy is qualitatively different from that for the one-body dissipation model.
