Abstract

Intermediate mass fragment (IMF) production is different for the reaction pair 58Fe+58Fe and 58Ni+ 58Ni for which the only difference is the ratio N/Z, 1.23 for 58Fe and 1.07 for 58Ni. For beam-velocity fragments at 5.4° with Z from 3 to 15 the more proton-rich Ni reaction produces more even-Z IMFs than the Fe reaction. The ratio (number of IMFs from 58Ni+58Ni)/(number of IMFs from 58Fe+58Fe) as a function of Z is about 10% larger for even-Z values than for odd-Z values. The magnitude of this odd-even effect is about the same for beam energies with E/A = 45, 75, and 105 MeV.
