Description

The asymmetry in the parallel and transverse momentum distributions for fragments produced by the fragmentation of 16O at intermediate energies has been partially explained previously by the deflection of the projectile trajectory. The remaining discrepancy of approx. 25% between theory and experiment is suggested here as due to the scattering angle fluctuation as a result of the damping of the projectile kinetic energy. A model is introduced to study quantitatively this effect
