Classical tests for statistical evaporation at 680 MeV 40Ar+natAg.

Abstract

Measurements of the partial linear momentum transfer and production cross sections for light charged particles are reported for the reaction 680 MeV $^{40}\mathrm{Ar}$${+}^{\mathrm{nat}}$Ag. From examination of light charged particle invariant cross section maps and comparison of experimental angular distributions and energy spectra to a reaction kinematics simulation, an average value of 85% linear momentum transfer is deduced, with a spin range of (0--75)\ensuremath{\Elzxh}. Integration over energy and angle yields single and coincident light charged particle production cross sections. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
