Abstract

The disintegration of a secondary beam of ¹¹Be has been studied in the Coulomb plus nuclear field of Au and Be targets. The vector momentum (longitudinal and transverse components) was measured with a magnetic spectrograph with sufficient precision to detect previously reported differences in the velocity of the ¹⁰Be fragments and the incident beam. Coincident γ rays, detected by an array of BaF₂ scintillators surrounding the target, were used to identify events in which the target was simultaneously excited. No evidence for the previously suggested velocity difference was observed.
