Collective Expansion in Central Au + Au Collisions
Physical Review Letters
(1994)
Abstract
Energy spectra for intermediate mass fragments produced in central Au + Au collisions at E/A=100MeV indicate a collective expansion at breakup. For the first time, values for this collective expansion energy per nucleon are extracted independently for each charge. Typically, these values are one-third to one-half of the incident kinetic energy per nucleon in the c.m. system, but they decrease with Zf, suggesting that all fragments do not participate equally in the collective expansion.
