摘要:
Heavy reaction products coincident with neutrons and light charged particles were studied in central collisions in the mass-symmetric systems Ar-40 + Ca-40 and Si-28 + Si-28 at incident energies of 15 respectively 20 MeV/u. The results demonstrate quantitatively an interrelation between heavy-residue mass and element distributions and light-particle multiplicities: the mass difference between the observed fragments and the compound nuclei can be explained entirely by the emission of light particles with Z less-than-or-equal-to 2. All neutron data are very well reproduced within the framework of a quantal phase-space model, stressing the importance of two-body collisions in the reaction dynamics already at these energies. Trends in the deduced neutron multiplicities and nuclear temperatures indicate evidence for a limiting excitation energy for residue formation.
