Spin Determination of Highly Excited Nuclei from Light Particle Emission Studies

摘要

It is shown in this paper how one can take advantage of evaporated charged particles emitted by fully thermally equilibrated systems to extract information on spin and alignment. The emphasis is made on a complete study of the system exp 40 Ar+ exp 58 Ni at 280 MeV. For this specific example, a very good agreement with the sticking limit has been obtained. Moreover, the degree of alignment of deeply inelastic fragments was found to be very strong. Finally, the general use of particle emission properties in other situations than deeply inelastic collision studies is discussed. (Atomindex citation 11:568572)
