KATANA - a charge-sensitive triggering system for the SRIT experiment
KATANA - the Krakow Array for Triggering with Amplitude discrimiNAtion - has
been built and used as a trigger and veto detector for the SRIT TPC at
RIKEN. Its construction allows operating in magnetic field and providing fast
response for ionizing particles, giving the approximate forward multiplicity
and charge information. Depending on this information, trigger and veto signals
are generated. The article presents performance of the detector and details of
its construction. A simple phenomenological parametrization of the number of
emitted scintillation photons in plastic scintillator is proposed. The effect
of the light output deterioration in the plastic scintillator due to the
in-beam irradiation is discussed.Comment: 14 pages, 11 figure
Freeze-out configuration properties in the 197Au + 197Au reaction at 23 AMeV
Data from the experiment on the 197Au + 197Au reaction at 23 AMeV are
analyzed with an aim to find signatures of exotic nuclear configurations such
as toroid-shaped objects. The experimental data are compared with predictions
of the ETNA code dedicated to look for such configurations and with the QMD
model. A novel criterion of selecting events possibly resulting from the
formation of exotic freeze-out configurations, "the efficiency factor", is
tested. Comparison between experimental data and model predictions may indicate
for the formation of flat/toroidal nuclear systems
Investigation of the freeze-out configuration in the ^{197}Au + ^{197}Au reaction at 23 A MeV
According to the model predictions, observation of toroidal objects is expected in collisions of heavy ion at low incident energies. Comparison between experimental data and model predictions which may indicate the formation of flat/toroidal nuclear systems is shown
Dynamics of "binary" 197Au+197 Au collisions as a test of energy dissipation mechanism
197Au+197Au collisions at 15 MeV/nucleon were studied using the multidetector array CHIMERA and heavy ion beams from the superconducting cyclotron of LNS Catania. The experiment was aimed at studying the
mechanism of energy dissipation in collisions of very heavy systems. In the present contribution we report on a part of our study concentrated on a subject of basically binary damped collisions, in which only two main fragments are formed prior to secondary deexcitation processes. Such “binary” events were selected by using complete information from the exclusive-type data (including all Z 3 fragments) obtained with the CHIMERA multidetector. Results are compared with predictions of a classical dynamical model of Błocki et al., in which both scenarios of energy dissipation, one-body or two-body dissipation mechanisms, are assumed
Light fragments production and isospin dependences in Sn+Ni and Sn+Al central collisions at 25MeV/A and 35MeV/A from reverse/isospin experiments
This paper presents the physical analysis results for the following reactions: 124Sn+64Ni, 124Sn+27Al, 124Sn+58Ni at 35MeV/A and 25MeV/A. The main goal of this studies was to find observables sensitive to isospin effects and to present the similarities/differences between the systems characterised
by various charge asymmetry factor, defined as I = (NZ)=A. Theoretical simulations based on the Quantum Molecular Dynamics (QMD) model have been performed in order to compare them with the results
of the analysis of experimental data. The first phase of the reaction was carried out with the code CHIMERA [1]. The sequential decay of hot fragments was simulated by the code COOLER [2]. The conclusions are as
follows: there are observables sensitive to the isospin of the system, such as the Light Charged Particles (LCP) emission and their sensitivity is demonstrated more prominently in the analysis of central collisions at 35MeV/A.
The theoretical calculations do not reproduce these relations well
Isoscaling in neck fragmentation
Production of intermediate mass fragments (IMF) has been studied in semi-peripheral 124Sn (35AMeV) + 64Ni and 112Sn (35AMeV) + 58Ni reactions. Our recently proposed new method of an analysis of the neck-
like fragmentation processes that provides information on the IMFs time equence and time scale is reviewed. Isotopic analysis of so characterized IMFs gives evidence for neutron enrichment of mid-velocity fragments.
A clear isoscaling behavior is found despite the short emission time scale. Evolution of the isoscaling parameters from semi-peripheral to central collisions is discussed
Isospin effects studied with the CHIMERA detector at 35 Mev/nucleon
The yield of light charged particles and intermediate mass fragments is studied for the neutron-rich, 124Sn+64Ni, and neutron-poor, 112Sn+58Ni, reactions at 35MeV/nucleon as a function of the impact parameter. Our main observations are: (i) The yields of 1H, 3He and 4He particles in the neutron-poor system are enhanced with respect to the neutron-rich system and the yield of 3H is suppressed at all impact parameters, (ii) The ratio of 3H to 3He yield is three times larger for neutron poor system, (iii) The N/Z
ratio of the emitted intermediate-mass fragments shows dependence on the isospin of the system, (iv) The neutron richness of detected intermediate mass fragments depends strongly on their rapidity. The gross features of the experimental data are reproduced by quantum molecular dynamics model calculations
Dynamical signals in fragmentation reactions : Time scale determination from three fragments correlations by using the 4 [Pi] Chimera multidetector
For fragments emitted in the reactions 124Sn + 64Ni and 112Sn + 58Ni at 35 AMeV, isotopic composition and velocity correlations have been studied as a function of the centrality of the collision, using the 4 Chimera multidetector. We have investigated the time scale for fragments formation, in order to distinguish between prompt dynamical and sequential statistical emission. Promptly emitted light fragments (Z ≤9) produced in the
mid-rapidity domain are characterised by larger N/Z ratio and stronger angular anisotropies than those produced in sequential statistical emission. Results are compared with stochastic BNV code simulations obtained for
primary fragments. Valuable information on the symmetry term of the nuclear equation of state at sub-saturation densities are obtained

We present the current status of nuclear dynamics studies performed by the BREAKUP group with the 4 pi CHIMERA array, for the system Au-197 + Au-197 at 23 AMeV
