Simple stochrbtic models are used to explain the dissipation of energy in the deep inelastic collision of heavy ions. The fact that the width in the energy distribution decreases as the energy lo,;s increase,; is elucidated Ly taking account of the realistic conditions for the collision.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
