PACSSpallation reactions are important due to their applications in various fields such as astrophysics, neutron sources, accelerator driven systems, and production of radioactive beams. To improve our understanding of the spallation mechanism a complete experiment, called SPALADIN, has been proposed, which aims at measuring as exclusively as possible the final states of the spallation reaction. This experiment has been performed at GSI using the spallation reactions $^{56}$Fe+p and $^{12}$C+p in reverse kinematics at 1 A GeV. The detection of the evaporation residues is performed with the ALADIN magnet and various detectors. The detection in coincidence of all the characteristics (type and energy) of the evaporation particles (neutrons and charged ones) and of the heavy residue should permit the reconstruction of the remnant prior to evaporation in mass, charge, and excitation energy. It will then be possible to test the modelisation of the first stage of the reaction. Furthermore it will allow study of the models describing the various decay modes of the primary residue like evaporation or Fermi break-up mechanisms for the lighter systems independently of the models of the first stage of the spallation reaction
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
