Accurate knowledge of the reactions which occur when two heavy ions interact is of importance in many trans-disciplinary fields, particularly in cancer therapy and space radiation protection. In these cases one needs to know what happens in a natural process to which all possible reaction mechanisms contribute and thus a theoretical calculation, to be really usable, must indeed be able to reproduce large sets of data in wide energy and mass ranges. We show here the results of an analysis of the spectra of intermediate mass fragments produced in the C+Al interaction at 13 MeV/n, both in direct and inverse kinematics, which supplies a very reasonable reproduction of a great number of data providing useful information on the leading reaction mechanisms.

Abstract
Accurate knowledge of the reactions which occur when two heavy ions interact is of importance in many trans-disciplinary fields, particularly in cancer therapy and space radiation protection. In these cases one needs to know what happens in a natural process to which all possible reaction mechanisms contribute and thus a theoretical calculation, to be really usable, must indeed be able to reproduce large sets of data in wide energy and mass ranges. We show here the results of an analysis of the spectra of intermediate mass fragments produced in the C+Al interaction at 13 MeV/n, both in direct and inverse kinematics, which supplies a very reasonable reproduction of a great number of data providing useful information on the leading reaction mechanisms.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
