Abstract/Summary:
The experimental data of ;After event selection, the primary quasi-projectile (QP) characteristics such as excitation energy, velocity and angular distribution have been reconstructed from its decay products. The kinetic energy and angular distribution of charged particles emitted from QP have been displayed in the laboratory frame. The characteristics of charged particles were also analyzed in the frame of QP, which gave the kinetic energy and angular distribution. The decay of the QP into as many as 10 charged particles with as high as 8 MeV/nucleon of excitation energy has been observed in the analysis. The geometrical efficiency has been calculated in order to compare with the simulation results.;The decay products of the highly excited QP have been analyzed with the statistical sequential decay model GEMINI. In the calculations, some input of the code such as excitation energy is provided by the experimental results. The charged particle multiplicity, the charge distribution and other observables such as Z;In order to obtain an understanding of the peripheral and semi-peripheral reactions of different incident energies, a brief comparison between 30 MeV/nucleon and 43 MeV/nucleon is given.
