L. Phair et al., REDUCIBILITY AND THERMAL AND MASS SCALING IN ANGULAR-CORRELATIONS FROM MULTIFRAGMENTATION REACTIONS, Physical review letters, 77(5), 1996, pp. 822-825
The azimuthal angular correlations of light charged particles and ligh
t intermediate mass fragments emitted from the reaction Ar-36 + Au-197
at E/A = 50 MeV are found to be reducible to the angular distribution
s of individual fragments. Thermal scaling is also observed in the coe
fficients of the angular correlations. Furthermore, the observed scali
ng with fragment mass seems to imply secondary emission from relativel
y small (A approximate to 15-30) primary fragments.
