Excited state production and temperature measurement in a heavy ion reaction

An effective temperature inferred from the slope of kinetic energy spectra of the emitted fragments is not reflected in the relative populations of excited states of the emitted nuclei. We found that the excited state populations of 6Li, 7Li and 7Be emitted near 90° in the lab from the reaction of 4...

Description
Summary:An effective temperature inferred from the slope of kinetic energy spectra of the emitted fragments is not reflected in the relative populations of excited states of the emitted nuclei. We found that the excited state populations of 6Li, 7Li and 7Be emitted near 90° in the lab from the reaction of 490 MeV 14N with Ag are significantly lower than those expected on the basis of their effective temperature.
