Distribution of the dissipated angular momentum in heavy-ion collisions

The angular-momentum distributions of both fragments in low-energy heavy-ion collisions are calculated in a nonequilibrium-statistical model. The distribution functions are obtained analytically via moment expansion on the basis of a transport equation. They include the correlations between the two fragments. In conjunction with a phenomenological model for the description of the relative motion we compute fragment angular-momentum distributions as a function of energy loss and compare with experimental data
