Longitudinal collective motion in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions
Physics Letters B

Abstract
Light charged fragments from the reactions 40Ar+51V at 35 MeV/nucleon and 12C+12C at 50 MeV/nucleon have been measured with the MSU 4π Array. The longitudinal component of the directed collective motion is extracted from both data sets. This component is observed for p, d, t, He and Li fragments and apparently decreases in strength for the two heaviest fragments, in contrast to the transverse component which has been found to increase with fragment mass. At least part of the decrease in the strength of the longitudinal component for heavier fragments is due to the low-energy thresholds of the detectors.
