Few-Body Systems Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Isotopic yields of fragments emitted from projectile sources in peripheral collisions at Fermi and relativistic energy regimes are studied in the framework of the statistical multifragmentation model for an ensemble of excited both projectile and midrapidity sources. The data of FAZIA and FRS experiments and results of their theoretical analyses are compared together with each other to investigate the differences and similarities in both energy regimes. The importance of possible applications of the present results for the production of new exotic nuclei including hypernuclei in relativistic peripheral collisions that may have a broad yield distributions extending beyond the proton and neutron driplines, is emphasized.
