Origins of Intermediate Velocity Particle Production in Heavy Ion Reactions
arXiv:nucl-ex/0108028 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevC.65.061604
Abstract
Investigation of intermediate-velocity particle production is performed on entrance channel mass asymmetric collisions of 58Ni+C and 58Ni+Au at 34.5 MeV/nucleon. Distinctions between prompt pre-equilibrium ejections, multiple neck ruptures and an alternative phenomenon of delayed aligned asymmetric breakup is achieved using source reconstructed correlation observables and time-based cluster recognition in molecular dynamics simulations.
