Abstract: (Springer)
A new statistical approach is adopted which, through a suitable analysis of light clusters emitted in heavy-ion collisions, allows us to evaluate temperature and free-nucleon densities of the emission source. All known data concerning the emission of2H,3H,3He,4He measured in a common experiment are used. These data refer to 19 heavy-ion reactions studied at projectile energies between 26 and 2100 MeV per nucleon. Analysed events are only those attributable to the equilibrium component through carefully adopted selections. Among the results, a correlation is observed between temperatureT and total free-nucleon density ϱtF of the emission source. A nuclear-matter model is formulated in order to compare its quantitative predictions with the observed (T, ϱtF) correlation. A good agreement is found by this comparison.References(0)
