Emission time scale of light particles in the system Xe+Sn at 50 AMeV. A probe for dynamical emission ?
Proton and deuteron correlation functions have been investigated with both
impact parameter and emission source selections. The correlations of the system
(129Xe + natSn) at 50 AMeV have been measured with the 4 pi INDRA which
provides a complete kinematical description of each event. The emission time
scale analyzed with a quantum model reveals the time sequence of the light
particles emitted by the projectile-like fragment. The short and constant
emission time of the proton, independent of the impact parameter, can be
attributed to a preequilibrium process.Comment: 20 pages, with 11 included figures; Accepted by European Physics

Surveying the nuclear caloric curve
International audienceThe 4Ï array INDRA was used to detect nearly all charged products emitted in Ar + Ni collisions between 52 and 95 MeV/u. The charge, mass and excitation energy Eâ of the quasi-projectiles have been reconstructed event by event. Excitation energies up to 25 MeV per nucleon are reached
PremiÚres expériences de multifragmentation à l'aide du multidétecteur 4 INDRA
This work is a contribution to the study of the formation and decay of excited nuclei produced in heavy ion collisions at intermediate energies. The experiments have been carried out at GANIL (Caen, France) with the 4Ï => 4Ï multidetector INDRA. This is a detector of charged particles and fragments with a high granularity, an excellent space coverage, low detection thresholds, and a large dynamic range in charge and in energy. The calibration of the Silicon detectors have been performed with light particles and heavy projectiles. Usual methods which calculate the pulse height defect are criticized and a new method is proposed. We also give experimental results about the charge carriers collection in partially depleted detectors. Data analysis needs a comparison between experimental results and phenomenological codes. We describe in chapter III the physical ingredients contained in two of this codes. In the last part, we show the first experimental results obtained with the Xe + Sn system, between 25 MeV/u and 50 MeV/u. Studies on fragment multiplicity distributions show that physical mechanisms with product this fragments are different from those observed at low bombarding energies.Ce travail est une contribution Ă l'Ă©tude de la formation et de la dĂ©sexcitation des noyaux excitĂ©s produits dans les collisions d'ions lourds aux Ă©nergies intermĂ©diaires. Les expĂ©riences ont Ă©tĂ© effectuĂ©es au GANIL (CAEN) avec le multidĂ©tecteur 4Ω INDRA. Ce dĂ©tecteur de particules chargĂ©es et de fragments possĂšde une forte granularitĂ©, une excellente couverture spatiale, des seuils de dĂ©tection faibles, ainsi qu'une grande dynamique d'identification en charge et en Ă©nergie. La calibration des dĂ©tecteurs Silicium a Ă©tĂ© effectuĂ©e avec des particules lĂ©gĂšres et des ions lourds. Les mĂ©thodes habituelles d'estimation du dĂ©faut de collection sont critiquĂ©es, et une nouvelle mĂ©thode est proposĂ©e. Nous prĂ©sentons Ă©galement des rĂ©sultats sur la collecte des charges dans les dĂ©tecteurs partiellement dĂ©sertĂ©s. Une Ă©tape importante de l'analyse des donnĂ©es est la comparaison des rĂ©sultats expĂ©rimentaux avec les prĂ©dictions de modĂšles phĂ©nomĂ©nologiques. Nous prĂ©sentons dans le chapitre III les mĂ©canismes physiques sur lesquels s'appuient plusieurs de ces modĂšles. Dans la derniĂšre partie de ce mĂ©moire, nous prĂ©sentons les premiers rĂ©sultats expĂ©rimentaux obtenus pour le systĂšme Xe + Sn, entre 25 MeV/u et 50 MeV/u. Les Ă©tudes portant sur les distributions en multiplicitĂ© de fragments (Z=3 Ă 20) montrent que les mĂ©canismes physiques ayant produit ces fragments sont diffĂ©rents de ceux qui interviennent pour de plus faibles Ă©nergies de bombardement
Dynamical effects and IMF production in peripheral and semi-central collisions of Xe+Sn at 50 MeV/nucleon

A hot expanding source in 50 A MeV Xe+Sn central reactions
International audienceThe INDRA multidetector has been used to study multifragmentation processes in central collisions for the Xe + Sn reaction at 50 A MeV. A single isotropic source formed at an excitation energy of 12 A MeV exhausting most of the emitted charged products has been isolated in such collisions. The fragment kinetic energy spectra indicate a fast disintegration of the system with a radial collective motion of about 2 A MeV. The light charged particle characteristics within this scenario are also discussed
