Description

The authors studied a series of reactions in reversed kinematics using 86Kr, 98Mo, and 121Sb beams to produce 149Tb* composite nuclei at excitation energies between 135 and 240 MeV. The de-excitation pathways of the hot, high-spin nuclei were probed via measurements of fission (FF), light-charged-particles (LCP), and intermediate-mass-fragment (IMF) emission. Coincidence data between FF-LCP, FF-IMF, LCP-LCP, and LCP-IMF provided distinctions of emission mechanisms, and detailed comparisons of particle spectra with reaction-simulation calculations allowed determination of multiplicities and cross sections for the several emission sources. Multiplicities in the 149Tb* decay channels are compared for various entrance channels to ascertain the roles of energy and spin, and particle-particle correlations are related to the properties of the nuclear evaporation cascades
