Medium energy nuclear reactions: ''Quasi-two-body scaling'' and ''hot spots''

  • 1. Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742

Description

Inclusive spectra for outgoing particles believed not to arise from a single-collision process are presented and analyzed as though a single-collision description, ''quasi-two-body scaling,'' were applicable. The characteristic momentum of the momentary distribution k0 is of order 60 MeV/c and is approximately A independent. An alternative analysis in terms of nuclear temperature is made, suggesting a correlation between the value of k0 and the nuclear temperature of a ''hot spot.''
