Formation and Decay of Hot Nuclei: The Experimental Situation

  • Daniel Guerreau
Chapter
Part of the NATO ASI Series book series (NSSB, volume 205)

Abstract

With the achievement of new facilities in the 80’s providing us with heavy ion beams well above the coulomb barrier, a unique opportunity was offered to the experimentalists to produce and study nuclear matter under extreme conditions 1-2. Effectively, in the energy range 20–100 MeV/u, on which we will concentrate in these lectures, it appeared very rapidly that excited nuclei could be formed at rather high temperatures.
