Erratum: Unusual behavior of projectile fragments produced by the interactions of relativistic Ar ions with copper

Abstract

We used an incorrect form of Eq. (37). The correct equation iswhere all the quantities have been defined in the original article. All numerical values based on the use of Eq. (37) must be adjusted. However, the qualitative conclusions remain unchanged. More complete details will be included in a future publication.The name of W. Schulz is spelled correctly here, incorrectly in the original paper. 1991 The American Physical Society Erratum: Radioactivity in strange quark matter [Phys. Rev. C 35, 213 (1987)]The calculated surface tension is too small by a factor of 2. The density of states should be given bySince the surface energy is treated as a perturbation, the mass formula which is quoted is easily corrected. All equations are correct as given except for Eqs. (2.26), (2.27), and (2.28) which require an additional factor of 2. Figure 5 should be modified to include an extra factor of 2' on the vertical axis. The qualitative conclusions regarding the decay patterns of unstable strangelets are unaffected, but the regions in which strangelets are unstable to alpha and neutron emission are affected. The critical baryon number A";, is particularly sensitive to the surface tension.In M. S. Berger, Phys. Rev. D 40, 2128 (1989, the same problem occurs. Unfortunately this error seems to have propagated to J. Madsen and M. L. Olesen, Phys. Rev. D 43, 1069 (1991).We would like to thank Israel Mardor for calling our attention to this correction.The symbol 5& which appears in Eq. (3) should read o&. Also, exp(ix) and F [(0 -9, )] appearing in Eq. (5) should read exp(iy) and I' [h(0 -8, ) ], respectively.

Two Ways of High-Energy Heavy Ion Interactions: Spallation and Burst

“…In contrast to the Dubna experiments, only one high-energy irradiation of a thick Cu-target was performed in Berkeley. No neutron measurements have been published but spallation product yields in 2 Cu-disks in contact (each disk 1.0 cm thick) have been extensively studied [20] in irradiations with 72 GeV 40 Ar and 36 GeV 40 Ar. A large number of radioactive spallation product yields, ( A Z), were measured and the analysis of the results revealed several unresolved problems, such as [3]:  The yield-ratio R 0 ( A Z) is defined as the activity of the nuclide ( A Z) in the second (downstream) Cu-disk divided by the corresponding activity in the first (upstream) Cu-disk.…”

“…Another detail observed for nuclides ( A Z) which is important for discussions in the context of this paper is given in Figure 7. It shows the yield ratio R 0 ( A Z) observed for irradiations with 72 GeV 40 Ar on Cu divided by yield ratios R 0 ( A Z) observed for irradiations with 36 GeV 40 Ar ions on Cu for all investigated radioactive spallation nuclides [20]:…”

“…The yield ratio R 0 ( A Z) observed in irradiations with 72 GeV 40 Ar divided by the same yield ratios R 0 ( A Z) observed in irradiations with 36 GeV 40 Ar ions as a function of product mass <A>. The data for the figure are taken from [20]. available to the authors.…”
