Abstract
Highly fragmented exit channels produced by the decay of excited Mg-24 projectiles were detected. The longitudinal velocity spectra of proto ns and alpha particles from such channels are offset. This offset is c onsistent with post-breakup Coulomb accelerations from the Au-197 targ et nuclei implying that the protons were emitted within 3 x 10(-22) S after the target-projectile separation.
