Precise Barriers and Shell Effects: a New Inroad to Fission Saddle Point Spectroscopy
L. Phair, L. G. Moretto, K. X. Jing +6
Fission excitation functions have been measured for a chain of neighboring compound nuclei, from 207Po to 212Po. We present a new analysis which provides a determination of the fis…
Comment on ``Entry Distribution, Fission Barrier, and Formation Mechanism of 254No''
L. G. Moretto, L. Phair, G. J. Wozniak
A recent paper has reported the observation of the rotational band of 254No for spins up to I=20, showing that the compound nucleus was formed and survived fission decay at angular…
Liquid-vapor phase transition in nuclei or compound nucleus decay?
L. G. Moretto, J. B. Elliott, L. Phair +1
Recent analyses of multifragmentation in terms of Fisher's model and the related construction of a phase diagram brings forth the problem of the true existence of the vapor phase a…
Cnstructing the phase diagram of finite neutral nuclear matter
J. B. Elliott, L. G. Moretto, L. Phair +2
The fragment yields from the multifragmentation of gold, lanthanum and krypton nuclei obtained by the EOS Collaboration are examined in terms of Fisher's droplet formalism modifed…
Heavy Residue Formation in 20 MeV/nucleon 197Au + 90Zr collisions
G. A. Souliotis, W. Loveland, K. Hanold +2
The yields and velocity distributions of heavy residues and fission fragments from the reaction of 20 MeV/nucleon 197Au + 90Zr have been measured using the MSU A1200 fragment separ…
The liquid to vapor phase transition in excited nuclei
J. B. Elliott, L. G. Moretto, L. Phair +16
For many years it has been speculated that excited nuclei would undergo a liquid to vapor phase transition. For even longer, it has been known that clusterization in a vapor carrie…
