Peculiarities of quasifission reactions in heavy ion collisions

Abstract

The probability of the formation and decay of a dinuclear system is investigated for a wide range of relative orbital angular momentum values. The mass and angular distributions of the quasifission fragments are studied to understand the reaction mechanisms of the heavy ion collision of 78Kr (10A MeV) + 40Ca within dinuclear system model. The quasifission products are found to contribute to the mass-symmetric region of the mass distribution in collisions with a large orbital angular momentum. The analysis of mass and angular distributions of quasifission fragments shows the possibility of the 180° rotation of the system so that projectile-like products can be observed in the forward hemisphere with large cross sections, which can explain the phenomenon observed recently in the ISODEC experiment.
