Binary break-up of a high-velocity hot source formed in the 84Kr+93Nb reaction at 34.5 MeV/u☆

Abstract The fragment production in the 84 Kr+ 93 Nb reaction at 34.5 MeV/u has been investigated by coincidence measurements. The observed fragment-fragment and fragment-particle correlations can be explained by a binary break-up of a high-velocity source having about 90% of the beam velocity and formed by a deep interaction between the projectile and the target.
