| Abstract: |
Energy spectra for intermediate mass fragments produced in
central Au + Au collisions at E/A=100 MeV indicate a
collective expansion at breakup. For the first time, values
for this collective expansion energy per nucleon are extracted
independently for each charge. Typically, these values are
one-third to one-half of the incident kinetic energy per
nucleon in the c.m. system, but they decrease with Zf,
suggesting that all fragments do not participate equally
in the collective expansion.
