Study of two- and multi-particle correlations in C-12+Mg-24 and C-12+Pb-208 reactions at E=35 AMeV

Two and multi particle correlations from the decay of sources produced in 12C+24Mg and 12C+208Pb collisions at E=35 AMeV have been studied by using the forward part (1°< θlab < 30°) of the CHIMERA multi-detector. Correlations and invariant mass spectroscopy are used to explore simultaneous and sequential decays of resonances in light isotopes with Z∼3-6, produced in peripheral collisions via the break-up of excited quasi-projectiles. Among them we mention 5Li, 6Li, 6Be, 8Be and the astrophysically important state in 12C decaying into three alpha particles. Results and future perspectives at the INFN-LNS will be presented.

Two and multi particle correlations from the decay of sources produced in C-12+Mg-24 and C-12+Pb-208 collisions at E=35 AMeV have been studied by using the forward part (1(o) <theta(lab) < 30(o)) of the CHIMERA multi-detector. Correlations and invariant mass spectroscopy are used to explore simultaneous and sequential decays of resonances in light isotopes with Z similar to 3-6, produced in peripheral collisions via the break-up of excited quasi-projectiles. Among them we mention Li-5, Li-6, Be-6, Be-8 and the astrophysically important state in C-12 decaying into three alpha particles. Results and future perspectives at the INFN-LNS will be presented.
