Abstract

Measurements are reported for fragment masses and velocities from the reactions [Formula Presented] Ag, and Au. Charged particle multiplicities were used to select the most violent reactions, and systematics are reported for the momentum and energy deposition. These reactions are fusionlike for [Formula Presented] with a large fraction of momentum and energy deposition in the heavy nuclear system. However, for [Formula Presented] a majority of the projectile energy and momentum is carried away by a multibody spray of light ejectiles and only a minority is deposited in the heavy nucleus. Nevertheless heavy composite systems are formed with up to 9–12 MeV per source nucleon for [Formula Presented].
