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

Abstract

The formation cross sections for about 110 products of interaction between a 12 С ion beam of energy 2.2 GeV per nucleon and tin targets from the isotopes 112,118,120,124 Sn were calculated. Massyield and charge distributions were obtained for 112,118,124 Sn targets. An analysis of these charge distributions reveals that the positions of their maxima, Z p , are different for targets having different nucleon compositions. The formation cross sections for neutron-rich products originating from neutron-rich targets are found to increase in all product-mass regions considered in our study. Mass distributions are compared for proton-, deuteron-and ion-nucleus reactions.
