Abstract
The fragmentation of 95 MeV/u 12C and 75 MeV/u 13C projectiles, interacting with natural targets of different elements (9Be, $^{\rm nat}$ Cu and 197Au for 12C, and 9Be, $^{\rm nat}$ Ni, and 181Ta for 13C) and of various thicknesses has been investigated at GANIL, using the doubly achromatic magnetic spectrometer LISE. The projectile-like fragments transmitted at 0 $^\circ$ have been analysed using a silicon $\Delta E$ -E telescope and the $\Delta E$ -time-of-flight method. The results obtained with the thinnest targets are discussed in the scope of radioactive nuclear beam production. The fragment momentum distributions can be fitted by Gaussian peaks associated with exponential tails towards low momentum values. The experimental production yields are compared with the results of the simulation code LISE. It appears that this code reproduces satisfactorily the yields of nuclei close to the stability line, but strongly overestimates the production of very neutron-deficient nuclei.
