E. Gadioli et al., Evidence for a dissipative friction mechanism based on Be-8 fragments fromthe interaction of C-12 with Co-59, EUR PHY J A, 8(3), 2000, pp. 373-376
It is suggested that the spectra of the Be-8 ground-state (gs) nuclei produ
ced in the interaction of C-12 with Co-59 at incident energies varying from
8.3 to 33.3 MeV/amu can he explained by introducing a dissipative friction
interaction mechanism preceding projectile break-up.
