Cooling dynamics in multi-fragmentation processes

Fragment energy spectra of neutron-deficient isotopes are significantly more energetic than those of neutron-rich isotopes of the same element. This trend is well beyond what can be expected for the bulk multi-fragmentation of an equilibrated system. It can be explained, however, if some of these fr...

Zusammenfassung:Fragment energy spectra of neutron-deficient isotopes are significantly more energetic than those of neutron-rich isotopes of the same element. This trend is well beyond what can be expected for the bulk multi-fragmentation of an equilibrated system. It can be explained, however, if some of these fragments are emitted earlier through the surface of the system while it is expanding and cooling.
