Abstract
Nuclide distributions have been measured for damped collision products formed in the reaction of E/A=8.5 MeV and ions with . The data demonstrate that in these very asymmetric systems the evolution of the nucleon-exchange process as a function of energy loss depends strongly on the N/Z value of the projectile and the corresponding gradient in the potential-energy surface. Comparison of the data with transport model calculations shows qualitative agreement with the N and Z centroids, variances, and correlation coefficients. However, absolute discrepancies exist which suggest the need for improvement in the model.
