Ew. Cornell et al., INVESTIGATING THE EVOLUTION OF MULTIFRAGMENTING SYSTEMS WITH FRAGMENTEMISSION ORDER, Physical review letters, 77(22), 1996, pp. 4508-4511
Multifragment decays of central collisions in Kr-84 + Au-197 at E/A =
70 MeV are studied. utilizing a technique sensitive to the emission or
der of fragments, it is deduced that carbon fragments are emitted prio
r to beryllium fragments when these fragments have the same velocity.
This observation is consistent with the cooling of a thermally decayin
g source.
