Ratios of the populations of ground and excited states of He-4, Li-5, and Be-8 and double ratios constructed from the yields He-3,He-4, Li-6,Li-7,Li-8, C-11,C-12,C-13 isotopes were measured for central Kr+Nb collisions at E/A = 35, 70, 100, and 120 MeV. These ratios were analyzed to estimate an apparent temperature for emission. Consistent and approximately constant apparent temperatures were obtained from the excited states of He-4, Li-5, and Be-8 nuclei and from thermometers based upon the yields of carbon isotopes. In contrast, apparent temperatures obtained from thermometers based upon the ratios using helium isotopes increase monotonically with incident energy.

Abstract
Ratios of the populations of ground and excited states of He-4, Li-5, and Be-8 and double ratios constructed from the yields He-3,He-4, Li-6,Li-7,Li-8, C-11,C-12,C-13 isotopes were measured for central Kr+Nb collisions at E/A = 35, 70, 100, and 120 MeV. These ratios were analyzed to estimate an apparent temperature for emission. Consistent and approximately constant apparent temperatures were obtained from the excited states of He-4, Li-5, and Be-8 nuclei and from thermometers based upon the yields of carbon isotopes. In contrast, apparent temperatures obtained from thermometers based upon the ratios using helium isotopes increase monotonically with incident energy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
