Implications of the target residue mass and charge distributions in the interaction of 8.0 GeV20Ne with181Ta
Target residue mass and charge distributions have been measured radioanalytically for the reaction of 8.0 GeV20Ne ions with Ta. These distributions are very similar to those distributions observed in the reaction...

Angular momentum, statistical equilibrium and sequential fission in very asymmetric systems
The in-and out-of-plane angular distributions for fission fragments in coincidence with projectile-like products from the reaction of 252 MeV20Ne with197Au and238U have been measured. The results are compared to ...

Target isotope effect in high energy photon production atE/A=10 MeV
A comparison has been made between the production of high energy (E γ≧30 MeV)γ rays from the bombardment of124Sn and112Sn targets withE/A= 10 MeV12C ions. The results are well explained by then-p bremsstrahlung m...

Beta-delayed proton emission around N=50 and the rp-process
Detailed information on the decay modes of very proton-rich heavy nuclei is a prerequisite for p-process nucleosynthesis models. We have therefore measured β-delayed protons and γ-rays from mass-separated sources...
