Theoretical study of isotope production in the peripheral heavy-ion collision 136Xe + Pb at 1 GeV/nucleon

Dynamical fluctuations in fragmentation reactions in a Boltzmann–Langevin approach

“…Nuclear fragmentation is one of the important reaction mechanisms in heavy-ion collisions not only for the finding of new isotopes but also for cosmic-ray physics [37,38], and still engages continuous interests up to now [39][40][41]. With the development of radioactive nuclear beam facilities, more exotic isotopes will be found and the heavy-ion and/or hadron therapy will help damage the tumour tissues more effectively [42][43][44]. In fragmentation reactions at energies ranging from tens of MeV u −1 to hundreds of MeV u −1 , a large number of intermediate mass fragments (IMFs) are produced [45,46].…”
