Abstract

A new tool for the study of heavy-ion reactions is obtained by adapting a $4\ensuremath{\pi}$-neutron-multiplicity counter to accelerator experiments. The instrument registers almost all neutrons emitted in each single reaction event. For quasielastic reactions of 290-MeV $^{20}\mathrm{Ne}$+$^{197}\mathrm{Au}$ the measured neutron multiplicity distributions allow a quantitative decompsotion of the cross section into two contributions: one with higher $Q$ value from transfer reactions, one with lower $Q$ value due to the decay of the decay of the projectilelike fragments.
