L. Pienkowski et al., THERMAL EXCITATION-ENERGY DISTRIBUTION OF 475 MEV AND 2 GEV PROTON AND HE-3 INDUCED REACTIONS IN HEAVY-NUCLEI, ACT PHY P B, 25(3-4), 1994, pp. 737-744
The 4pi neutron detector ORION was installed at SATURNE laboratory to
perform experiments with high energy light- and heavy- ion beams. The
first preliminary results are now available. The thermal excitation en
ergy distribution of nuclei produced in high energy proton induced rea
ctions was measured using almost direct approach. Comparison of the ex
perimental results and predictions of the intranuclear cascade (INC) m
odel is presented. The experimentally observed distributions are in fa
ir agreement with the results of the INC model.
