Intermediate-mass fragments from nonbinary processes in the reaction of ${}_{}{}^{14}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{N}$ on Ag at E/A = 35 MeV

Angular distributions of recoil nuclei were measured in coincidence with low-energy intermediate-mass fragments emitted in ${}_{}{}^{14}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{induced}$ reactions on Ag at E/A=35 MeV. The measured correlations are inconsistent with a purely binary reaction mechanism. The incomplete linear momentum transfer mechanism alone does not reproduce the data, which show evidence for emission of additional matter to the same side of the beam axis as the intermediate-mass fragment.
