X. Liu et al., REACTION-TIME AND REACTION-MECHANISMS OF THE MEDIUM-MASS REACTION SYSTEM KR-84-27 AT 8.5 MEV(AL)U/, Physics letters. Section B, 435(1-2), 1998, pp. 13-18
Measurements of alpha-fragment coincidences in the reaction plane in t
he reaction Kr-84 + Al-27 at 8.5 MeV/u show that the fully energy-damp
ed symmetric fragments are dominantly produced in deeply inelastic col
lisions. From the measured a and proton multiplicities, the reaction t
ime is deduced to be 8 X 10(-21) seconds. The diffusion model calculat
ions incorporating this reaction time reproduce well the measured frag
ment charge distributions. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
