Detailed information on a new reaction mechanism is presented for a 600-MeV 84 Kr bombardment of 209 Bi. This reaction process represents a major fraction of the totalreaction cross section and is characterized by strong damping of energy degrees of freedom, but on the average, a relatively small amount of mass exchange compared to fis-
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.
