Extrapolation of neutron-rich isotope cross-sections from projectile fragmentation

Using the measured fragmentation cross-sections produced from the 48Ca and 64Ni beams at 140 MeV per nucleon on 9Be and 181Ta targets, we find that the cross-sections of unmeasured neutron-rich nuclei can be extrapolated using a systematic trend involving the average binding energy. The extrapolated...

Description
Summary:Using the measured fragmentation cross-sections produced from the 48Ca and 64Ni beams at 140 MeV per nucleon on 9Be and 181Ta targets, we find that the cross-sections of unmeasured neutron-rich nuclei can be extrapolated using a systematic trend involving the average binding energy. The extrapolated cross-sections will be very useful in planning experiments with neutron-rich isotopes produced from projectile fragmentation. The proposed method is general and could be applied to other fragmentation systems including those used in other radioactive ion beam facilities.
