Description

This paper reports on light fragment emission, when triggered by large transverse momentum protons which shows specific kinematical correlations due to recoil effects of the excited emitting source. Such effects have been observed in azimuthal angular distributions of He-particles produced in collisions induced by 94 MeV/u 16O ions on Al, Ni and Au targets. A model calculation assuming a two-stage mechanism (formation and sequential decay of a hot source) gives a good description of these whole data. From this successful confrontation, it is possible to estimate the size of the emitting system
