"Tomography" of the cluster structure of light nuclei via relativistic dissociation

These lecture notes present the capabilities of relativistic nuclear physics for the development of the physics of nuclear clusters. Nuclear track emulsion continues to be an effective technique for pilot studies that allows one, in particular, to study the cluster dissociation of a wide variety of light relativistic nuclei within a common approach. Despite the fact that the capabilities of the relativistic fragmentation for the study of nuclear clustering were recognized quite a long time ago, electronic experiments have not been able to come closer to an integrated analysis of ensembles of relativistic fragments. The continued pause in the investigation of the "fine" structure of relativistic fragmentation has led to resumption of regular exposures of nuclear emulsions in beams of light nuclei produced for the first time at the Nuclotron of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR, Dubna). To date, an analysis of the peripheral interactions of relativistic isotopes of beryllium, boron, carbon and nitrogen, including radioactive ones, with nuclei of the emulsion composition, has been performed, which allows the clustering pattern to be presented for a whole family of light nuclei.Comment: ISBN 978-3-319-01076-2. 55 pages, 28 figure

Estimated interaction and proton removal cross sections for 60-710 A MeV O-15 and Ne-17 nuclei on Be-9 and C-12 targets

Two-proton removal in 17Ne at energies from 60 to 710 A MeV in the carbon target is studied in the eikonal approximation of the Glauber model. The excitation of the 15O core fragment is taken into account. The calculated proton removal cross section in 17Ne, the 17Ne and 15O interaction cross sections are compared to the available experimental data

Theoretical study of one-proton removal from O-15

One-proton removal from O15 at intermediate energies (56A MeV) is studied in the eikonal approximation of the Glauber model. The production of the N14 core fragment in the ground and excited states is studied. The calculated proton removal cross section, the O15 interaction cross section, and the longitudinal momentum distribution of the N14 fragments are compared to recent experimental data [H.

Pre-equilibrium effects in the secondary particle spectra in the reactions with heavy ions

Theoretical description of the experimentally obtained spectra for protons and alpha-particles and model calculations for the neutron spectra in the reactions with heavy ions has been presented. The hybrid model of non-equilibrium processes was used. Equilibrium evaporation process was analyzed in the framework of the statistical theory of nuclear reactions with Monte-Carlo simulation including certain dynamical and kinematical characteristics. This approach was included in PACE code, which permits to simulate Monte-Carlo de-excitation nuclear process. The Fermi-gas model and level-density phenomenological model for the variation of the nuclear level density parameters was used. In this approach data on O-16+Sn-116 reaction with E-beam=130, 250 MeV were analyzed. Double-differential light charged particle spectra for this reaction were measured using the GARFIELD apparatus in coincidence with evaporation residues. The experimental data were collected in four angular ranges from 29 to 41, 41 to 53, 53 to 67 and 67 to 82 degrees in the laboratory system. The results of the calculations are shown and discussed for these four angular ranges. The contributions from the evaporative and pre-equilibrium processes were analyzed in connection with different nucleus equilibration mechanisms

Double-differential spectra of the secondary particles in the frame of pre-equilibrium model

An approach was developed to describe the double-differential spectra of secondary particles formed in heavy-ion reactions. Griffin model of nonequilibrium processes was used to account for the nonequilibrium stage of the compound system formation. Simulation of de-excitation of the compound system was carried out using the Monte-Carlo method. Analysis of the probability of neutron, proton, and alpha-particle emission was performed both in equilibrium, and in the pre-equilibrium stages of the process. Fission and gamma-ray emission were also considered after equilibration. The analysis of the experimental data on the double-differential cross sections of p, alpha particles for the O-16 + Sn-116 reaction at the oxygen energy E = 130 and 250 MeV were performed
