Collisions of Au on Au at incident energies of 150, 250 and 400 A MeV were studied with the FOPI-facility at GSI Darmstadt. Nuclear charge (Z ≤ 15) and velocity of the products were detected with full azimuthal acceptance at laboratory angles 1 • ≤ θ lab ≤ 30 • . Isotope separated light charged particles were measured with movable multiple telescopes in an angular range of 6 − 90 • . Central collisions representing about 1% of the reaction cross section were selected by requiring high total transverse energy, but vanishing sideflow. The velocity space distributions and yields of the emitted fragments are reported. The data are analysed in terms of a thermal model including radial flow. A comparison with predictions of the Quantum Molecular Model is presented.PACS: 25.70.Pq

The photon decay of the relativistic Coulomb excitation of the single and double giant dipole resonance (GDR) in the target has been observed in the system 1A GeV 209 Bi on 208 Pb. For peripheral events which are dominated by relativistic Coulomb excitation, a large Lorentzian structure in the photon energy spectrum is peaked at 13.3±0.
