Decay of excited medium-mass compound nuclei

INFN and Dipartimento di Fisica dell’Universita, Firenze, Italy

Abstract

An experimental campaign has been performed by the Nuclex-Hector collaboration at the Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro in order to study different reaction channels by detecting, in coincidence, Evaporation Residue (ER), Charged Particles and high energy γ-rays from Giant Dipole Resonance (GDR). The studied system was ⁴⁸Ti+⁴⁰Ca at 300, 450 and 600 MeV, using a modular apparatus formed by triplephoswich detectors for ER and particles at the forward angles, the GARFIELD ΔE-E forward drift chamber for the charged particles between 30° and 85° and the HECTOR apparatus at the backward angles for γ-rays.
