title = "Evidence for thermal equilibration in multifragmentation reactions probed with bremsstrahlung photons",
abstract = "The production of nuclear bremsstrahlung photons (Eγ>30 MeV) has been studied in inclusive and exclusive measurements in four heavy-ion reactions at 60A MeV. The measured photon spectra, angular distributions, and multiplicities indicate that a significant fraction of the hard photons is emitted in secondary nucleon-nucleon collisions from a thermally equilibrated system. The observation of the thermal component in multifragment 36Ar+197Au reactions suggests that the breakup of the thermalized source produced in this system occurs on a rather long time scale.",
