Whence the odd-even staggering in nuclear binding?
W. A. Friedman, G. F. Bertsch
We explore the systematics of odd-even mass staggering with a view to identifying the physical mechanisms responsible. The BCS pairing and mean field contributions have A- and numb…
Fragmentation cross-sections and binding energies of neutron-rich nuclei
M. B. Tsang, W. G. Lynch, W. A. Friedman +18
An exponential dependence of the fragmentation cross-section on the average binding energy is observed and reproduced with a statistical model. The observed functional dependence i…
Extrapolation of neutron-rich isotope cross-sections from projectile fragmentation
M. Mocko, M. B. Tsang, Z. Y. Sun +13
Using the measured fragmentation cross sections produced from the 48Ca and 64Ni beams at 140 MeV per nucleon on 9Be and 181Ta targets, we find that the cross sections of unmeasured…
Neutron-Proton pairing revisited
W. A. Friedman, G. F. Bertsch
We reexamine neutron-proton pairing as a phenomenon that should be explanable in a microscopic theory of nuclear binding energies. Empirically, there is an increased separation ene…
Comparisons of Statistical Multifragmentation and Evaporation Models for Heavy Ion Collisions
M. B. Tsang, R. Bougault, R. Charity +9
The results from ten statistical multifragmentation models have been compared with each other using selected experimental observables. Even though details in any single observable…
Cooling Dynamics in Multi-fragmentation processes
T. X. Liu, W. G. Lynch, M. J. van Goethem +20
Fragment energy spectra of neutron deficient isotopes are significantly more energetic than those of neutron rich isotopes of the same element. This trend is well beyond what can b…
