Space Time Evolution and Thermodynamical Aspects of Intermediate Energy Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions

摘要

Recent experimental results on two-particle correlations measured in intermediate energy nucleus-nucleus collisions are reviewed. The emission and the sequential decay of particle unstable nuclei turn out to be an essential mechanism of the disintegration of nuclear systems. Consequences for single particle observables are discussed. In several experiments emission temperatures of about 5 MeV are found for /sup 5/Li nuclei. These surprising observations are compared to fragment temperatures calculated with a statistical multifragmentation model. (ERA citation 13:013148)
