Formation of light isotopes by protons and deuterons of 3.65 GeV/nucleon on separated tin isotopes

Abstract

We measure cross sections for residual nuclide formation in the mass range 7 ≤ A ≤ 96 caused by bombardment with protons and deuterons of 3.65 GeV/nucleon energy of enriched tin isotopes ( 112 Sn, 118 Sn, 120 Sn, 124 Sn). The experimental data are compared with calculations by the codes FLUKA, LAHET, CEM03, and LAQGSM03. Scaling behavior is observed for the whole mass region of residual nuclei, showing a possible multifragmentation mechanism for the formation of light products (7 ≤ A ≤ 30). Our analysis of the isoscaling dependence also shows a possible contribution of multifragmentation to the production of heavier nuclides, in the mass region 40 ≤ A ≤ 80.

Interaction of 12C ions with nuclei of enriched tin isotopes at an energy of 2.2 GeV per nucleon

“…In the mass region of 40 < A < 60, the cross section σ А undergoes virtually no change. In this region, the product-formation process may receive contributions not only from spallation but also from multifragmentation and fission [11][12][13][14][15] (yet, the contribution of fission is relatively small in the case of tin targets [16]). In the region of A < 40, there may arise fragmentation and multifragmentation products.…”

The Analysis of Proton- and Deuteron-Induced-Reaction Cross Sections on Tin Isotopes at the Beam Energy of 3.65 GeV/nucleon

“…The experiments were conducted on the Nuclotron of JINR [4,5]. The targets of enriched tin isotopes ( 112 Sn, 118 Sn, 120 Sn and 124 Sn) were irradiated with the extracted deuterons beam accelerator.…”

Target residues formed in the 4.4 GeV deuteron-induced reaction on gold

“…In our recent works the deuteron induced reactions on separated tin isotopes were investigated [1]. The results obtained were compared with proton induced reactions, which allowed to make conclusions about the deuteron interaction mechanism.…”
