STRUCTURE IN THE ENERGY-SPECTRA OF THE FRAGMENTS PRODUCED IN DAMPED HEAVY-ION REACTIONS

Structure in the energy spectra of specific final fragments produced in symmetric heavy-ion damped collisions is shown to correlate with statistical evaporation processes from primary fragments. The calculations are applied and described for Ca41 produced by the Ca40 + Ca40 reaction at a bombarding energy of 400 MeV. The calculated energy spectrum has structure at the same energies as the experimental spectrum. NUCLEAR REACTIONS Calculated isotopic energy spectra from heavy-ion damped collisions.
