AbstractAbstract
[en] We study light fragment production in Au + Au collisions at energies between 150 and 400 A.MeV. Experimental data are extracted from Phase I experiments performed with the FOPI detector at GSI-Darmstadt. We first give centrality criteria and the method used in order to have an evaluation of the impact parameter; that permit comparison between experiment and IQMD or FREESCO models. A first study concerns charge distributions and the reduced variance γ2. We observe that the amplitude of the reduced variance decreases rapidly as the centrality of the collision increases; this last point shows that there is no liquid-gas phase transition in central collisions. Such a conclusion agrees with theoretical studies made by the Nantes group concerning fragment formation. A second part concerns a systematic study of differential cross sections of fragment production. We show that IQMD model gives a good qualitative agreement with experimental data; nevertheless, charge distributions are not correctly reproduced by theory. A study of the parameter which fix the width of the Gaussian associated with the nucleons of the interacting system can improve the shape of the charge distributions. Finally, we give at the end of the thesis a systematic presentation of experimental invariant cross sections of fragment production. (author)
