Dissociation of C-10 Nuclei in a Track Nuclear Emulsion at an Energy of 1.2 GeV per Nucleon

Abstract

The charge topology in the fragmentation of ${}^{10}$C nuclei in a track nuclear emulsion at an energy of 1.2 GeV per nucleon is studied. In the coherent dissociation of ${}^{10}$C nuclei, about 82% of events are associated with the channel ${}^{10}$C $\to$ 2$\alpha +$ 2\emph{p}. The angular distributions and correlations of product fragments are presented for this channel. It is found that among ${}^{10}$C $\to$ 2$\alpha +$ 2\emph{p} events, about 30% are associated with the process in which dissociation through the ground state of the unstable ${}^9$Be${}_{g.s.}$ nucleus is followed by ${}^8$Be${}_{g.s.}+$ \emph{p} decays.
