A systematic investigation of the average multiplicities of light charged
particles and intermediate mass fragments emitted in peripheral and
semiperipheral collisions is presented as a function of the beam energy,
violence of the collision and mass of the system.
The data have been collected with the "Fiasco" setup in the reactions
93Nb+93Nb at 17, 23, 30, 38AMeV and 116Sn+116Sn at 30, 38AMeV.
The midvelocity emission has been separated from the emission of the
projectile-like fragment. This last component appears to be compatible with an
evaporation from an equilibrated source at normal density, as described by the
statistical code Gemini at the appropriate excitation energy.
On the contrary, the midvelocity emission presents remarkable differences for
what concerns both the dependence of the multiplicities on the energy deposited
in the midvelocity region and the isotopic composition of the emitted light
charged particles.Comment: 18 pages, 17 figures, Revtex
