Abstract

In the collision of two nuclei at intermediate energies (20 – 200 MeV/nucleon) a variety of phenomena can be studied including multifragmentation, the liquid-gas phase transition in nuclear matter, energy and momentum flow, the production of entropy, and the role of thermodynamics in these collisions.1’2 These phenomena involve correlations of many particles. In such experiments it is clear that the more complete the event characterization is, the more accurate will be the understanding of the underlying phenomena. Presented here are the results from the first set of experiments using the MSU 4π Array to study nuclear collisions at intermediate energies using the NSCL K500 Superconducting Cyclotron.
