Signature of geometrical effects in heavy-ion reactions below 100 MeV/nucleon - art. no. 031603

An extensive study of dynamically emitted charged particles was carried out within the framework of a semiclassical transport model. Several systems h aving different total mass and asymmetry were studied over a wide range of incident energies. It was found that dynamical emission occurring in heavy- ion collisions is the signature of a smooth transition between the low-ener gy reaction mechanism (deep inelastic model) and the high-energy reaction m echanism (participant-spectator model).
