Isospin dependence of isobaric ratio Y(3H)/Y(3He) and its relation to temperature

Abstract

A dependence of the isobaric ratio Y(3H)/Y(3He) on the N/Z ratio of the reconstructed quasiprojectile for the reaction of 28Si beam with 112,124Sn targets at two different projectile energies 30 and 50 MeV/nucleon is presented. We demonstrate a linear dependence of ln(Y(3H)/Y(3He)) on the quasiprojectile N/Z ratio and show the dependence of the slope on reconstructed excitation energy of the quasiprojectile. We relate this slope dependence at a given excitation energy to the temperature of the fragmenting system. Using the model assumptions of the statistical multifragmentation model, a method of temperature determination is proposed. A caloric curve is constructed and compared to the result of double isotope ratio method for the same set of data and to the results of other studies.
