Light particle spectra from 35 MeV/nucleon C12-induced reactions on Au197

Abstract

Energy spectra for p, d, t, He3, He4, and He6 from the reaction C12+Au197 at 35 MeV/nucleon are presented. A common intermediate rapidity source is identified using a moving source fit to the spectra that yields cross sections which are compared to analogous data at other bombarding energies and to several different models. The excitation function of the composite to proton ratios is compared with quantum statistical, hydrodynamic, and thermal models. © 1984 The American Physical Society
