Proton and α Sequential Emission in the 16 O + 58 Ni Deep Inelastic Reaction: A Semi-Classical Approach

Abstract

The 132 MeV 16O + 58Ni reaction has been experimentally investigated by using coincident charged particle techniques. A closed-form theoretical approach, describing in a simple picture the non-equilibrium component and the evaporative one of the angular correlation between light particles and reaction residues emitted in a peripheral heavy-ion collision, is applied — in the hypotesis of a sequential process — to the (C,N,O)-α and (C,N,O)-p differential multiplicities for the 16O + 58Ni at 8.25 MeV/A deep inelastic collision. From this analysis some reaction mechanism information is deduced.
