Mass dependence of various fragments in multi-fragmentation

Abstract

Based on the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics (IQMD) model, we aim to understand the effect of target fragmentation on various quantities i.e. collision rate, fragments multiplicity etc by simulating the collision between $Au^{197}$ projectile and $C^{12}$, $Al^{26}$, $Cu^{63}$, and $Pb^{208}$ as targets at incident energy 600 MeV/nucleon. The collision geometry is varied from central to peripheral. Our results indicate the rise and fall in the production of intermediate mass fragments with ${Z_{bound}}$ which is in agreement with the experimental data of Aladin collaboration at lower impact parameters, while, some deviation is seen at higher impact parameters.
