Abstract
Complete distributions of the light and intermediate mass fragments ( –6) produced within the polar angular range in highly central collisions of 250 MeV Au Au are presented. The results of this measurement and a model analysis are used to study the expansion and clustering of the hot and compressed transient state formed in central collisions of such a heavy system. The influence of the initial conditions on the final observables is discussed.
