Abstract
Three fragment production has been studied in peripheral Pb-208 + Au-1 97 collisions at 29 MeV/u. The data suggests the formation and subsequ ent decay of necklike structures producing a small fragment emitted at mid-rapidity in between the two partners of a deep inelastic scatteri ng. Data and trajectory calculations suggest also the existence of a c ompeting process in which the neck is absorbed by one of the reactants , this latter decaying further by binary fission.
