Classical tests for statistical evaporation at 680 MeV ${}_{}{}^{40}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ar}$${+}^{\mathrm{nat}}$Ag

Measurements of the partial linear momentum transfer and production cross sections for light charged particles are reported for the reaction 680 MeV ${}_{}{}^{40}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ar}$${+}^{\mathrm{nat}}$Ag. From examination of light charged particle invariant cross section maps and comparison of experimental angular distributions and energy spectra to a reaction kinematics simulation, an average value of 85% linear momentum transfer is deduced, with a spin range of (0–75)ħ. Integration over energy and angle yields single and coincident light charged particle production cross sections. © 1996 The American Physical Society.
