Recoil studies in the reaction of 12C ions with the enriched isotope 118Sn

Abstract

The recoil properties of the product nuclei from the interaction of 2.2 GeV/nucleon 12 C ions from Nuclotron of the Laboratory of High Energies (LHE), Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) at Dubna with a 118 Sn target have been studied using catcher foils.The experimental data were analyzed using the mathematical formalism of the standard two-step vector model. The results for 12 C ions are compared with those for deuterons and protons.Three different Los Alamos versions of the Quark-Gluon String Model (LAQGSM)were used for comparison with our experimental data.
