Fermi breakup and the statistical multifragmentation model

Extension of the Liège intranuclear-cascade model to reactions induced by light nuclei

“…More sophisticated approaches are provided by the family of statistical multifragmentation models, which are not discussed here; we refer the reader to Ref. [37] for an account of the relations that the two model classes bear to each other.…”

Formation and decay of a hot compound nucleus

“…As the first step toward a more unified model of these processes, we have demonstrated the equivalence of a generalized FBM, in which densities of excited states are taken into account, to the microcanonical version of the SMM. [23] A drawback of the FBM/SMM model is that it expresses fragment distributions in terms of the probability that are contained in the configurations of a system rather than in terms of their rates of emission. The assumption underlying the model is that every state of every configuration decays at the same rate.…”

Influence of the density of states on the odd-even staggering in the charge distribution of the emitted fragments in nuclear heavy-ion collisions

“…As was demonstrated in Ref. [26], this is equivalent to the standard version of SMM if the same ingredients are employed in both treatments. It therefore allows one to investigate the role played by the pairing energy at the different stages of the process if it is consistently taken into account in the model.…”

“…[25,26]. More specifically, each species (A, Z) contributes to the yields of (a, z) which add up to:…”

“…[25]. In this implementation, the deexcitation of the primary fragments is treated using a generalization of the Fermi breakup model (GFBM) [26], in which the emitted fragments are excited. As was demonstrated in Ref.…”
