Excitation and decay of projectile-like fragments formed in dissipative peripheral collisions at intermediate energies
Abstract
Projectile-like fragments (PLF:15<=Z<=46) formed in peripheral and mid-peripheral collisions of 114Cd projectiles with 92Mo nuclei at E/A=50 MeV have been detected at very forward angles, 2.1 deg.<=thetalab<=4.2 deg. Calorimetric analysis of the charged particles observed in coincidence with the PLF reveals that the excitation of the primary PLF is strongly related to its velocity damping. Furthermore, for a given VPLF*, its excitation is not related to its size, ZPLF*. For the largest velocity damping, the excitation energy attained is large, approximately commensurate with a system at the limiting temperature
