Measurement of the high energy -rays from heavy ion reactions using Čerenkov detector

Dawei Si, Yan Zhou, Sheng Xiao +1

The energetic bremsstrahlung photons up to 100 MeV produced in heavy ion collisions can be used as a sensitive probe to the short range correlation in atomic nuclei. The energy of…
