Isotopic Trends in Dynamical Breakup, S. Hudan, Indiana
University,USA
− The simultaneous
measurement of neutrons and charged particles produced in
peripheral and mid-peripheral
collisions in a heavy-ion cross-bombardment reaction 124,136Xe
+ 112,124Sn
at E/A = 50 MeV is described. Dynamical decay in which the excited
projectile-like fragment (PLF) decays on the timescale of its
rotation is
observed. The
correlation between the
composition of the lighter fragment, the size of the lighter
fragment, the
velocity damping and the decay orientation is examined. The influence of the
target N/Z on the
fragment composition is also studied.
