NIMROD Used to gather data such as:
Multiplicity distributions Charge/Mass distributions Energy spectra Angular distributions
4π Detector Array Neutrons detected by liquid
scintillators around target Charged particles detected
by modules consisting of a gas ionization chamber, one or two Si detectors and one or two CsI detectors.

Recent Experiments Time-frame of the reaction and technological limitations
make it difficult to gather important information about the properties of the nuclear matter (e.g. stiffness of EOS)
Most recent experiment devised in which neutrons and charged particles measured in coincidence with intermediate mass fragments (IMF’s) originating from primary fragments 64Zn and 64Ni beams incident on:
58Ni, 64Ni, 112Sn, 124Sn, 197Au, 232Th targets IMF’s detected by Si-CsI telescope Neutrons detected by detectors borrowed from DEMON Array LCP’s detected by CsI crystals

Reconstruction Main hurdle is secondary decay (IMF’s) which makes it difficult to
reconstruct primary fragments Antisymmetrized Molecular Dynamics (AMD) calculations used
have shown to be good models for reconstruction Mean multiplicities (obtained from experiment) and distributions
widths (difficult to obtain) of LP’s are used as input parameters in GEMINI
GEMINI is a statistical modeling code that uses the Monte-Carlo method to simulate sequential binary decays of nuclei

Procedure Simulated 1000 decay events for each nucleus
from Z=3 to Z=40 with at least one from each: Stability line (i.e. ~ Z = N) Proton-rich side (~ Z > N) Neutron-rich side (N > Z)
Excitation energies ranged from 2 to 5 MeV/amu in .5 MeV/amu increments
Assumed constant inverse level density parameter (8)

ROOT Relation between mean multiplicities and
the distribution widths of light particles emitted from system Width = 1σ =
Used the program ROOT to create histograms and calculate the distribution widths and the average multiplicities of each particle

Results Found correlation between the mean
multiplicities and distribution widths The best fit at specific Excitation Energies
was a power fit (i.e. y=AxB)

Conclusion As expected, we found the relation
between the mean multiplicities and distribution widths of the LP’s
These relations can be used as references to determine the distribution widths from the experimental data on mean multiplicities and implement them as input parameters for the reconstruction models
