Abstract

Exclusive measurements of neutrons and charged products have been performed using a combination of 4e neutron and 4e charged-particle detectors. The maximum observed energy dissipation corresponds to only approximately one-half of the available kinetic energy. For any degree of dissipation, the velocity distributions of charged particles are characteristic of sequential emission following binary collisions. The data imply that central collisions also lead to bimodal emission patterns or that they are not sufficiently well isolated by the requirement of high particle multiplicities.
