Abstract

The fragmentation of 760 A·MeV 136Xe projectiles impinging on a 27Al target has been investigated at the fragment separator FRS at GSI Darmstadt. Production cross sections for neutron rich nuclei in the 116 ≤ A ≤ 134 mass region have been determined and are compared to an empirical parametrisation as well as to model calculations. For the double magic nucleus 132Sn we extrapolate σ ≅ 0.4 ± 0.3 μbarn.

The measured production cross sections for vet5" neutron rich fi'agments in the A-125 mass region are well predicted by empirical systematics \[5\]a ,d can be satisfyingly reproduced by the statistical abrasion model \[7\].T he "memory effect", i.e the influence of the projectile neutron excess, is revealed by the data, although somewhat weaker than expected, A comparison to the results of a recent experiment 129Xe + ~AI at Eke, = 780 A-MeV, in particular with respect to longitudinal and transverse momentum transfers, will give a motx, detailed insight in the underlying reaction mechanism. We are ; ,dehted to the GSI staff for given support and to K.1I. Schmidt (GSI) for making his abrasion model code available. This work has been supported by BMFT 06-TM-108.
