Isospin Effects on Observables for Heavy Ion Reactions using Constant Mass Projectiles and Targets
Abstract
Changes in the isospin of the system may be manifested in differences in the multifragmentation observables. This can be studied by changing the N/Z of the reacting system while maintaining constant mass of both the target and projectile and a constant bombarding energy. The reactions of ^40Ar,^40Cl, and ^40Ca on ^58Fe and ^58Ni at both 25 and 53 AMeV were studied as were ^40Sc on ^58Fe and ^58Ni at 25 AMeV using the MSU 4π detector array to observe these isospin effects. Both light charged particle (LCP) and intermediate mass fragment (IMF) multiplicities will be presented. Additional observables will be shown including Z distributions, particle energy spectra, velocity plots, and isotopic ratios. The effects of detector angle and energy will be explored in addition to system N/Z effects.
