Description

The multiparticle decay in collisions induced by 44 MeV/nucleon 40Ar and 132Xe projectiles on several targets is studied using MEDEA 4π detection system. The impact parameter dependence of the charged particle multiplicity is determined. The dependence is strong in peripheral and midcentral collisions and becomes weaker in central collisions. The prediction of a molecular dynamics simulation is in agreement with the experiment
