Abstract

TheN/Z equilibration process taking place in deep-inelastic heavy ion collisions above the Coulomb barrier was studied by means of thick target gamma spectroscopy method. The analysis of gamma coincidence data obtained for four heavy ion systems gave complete distributions of primary reaction products which allowed to extract the most probableN/Z ratios as a function of mass. The comparison of experimentalN/Z values with expectations based on potential energy minimization leads to conclusion that during the crucial interaction time the involved nuclei are dynamically deformed.
