TL;DR: In this article, complex fragments of 3 Z ⪅35 have been detected in reverse-kinematics reactions of 93 Nb plus 9 Be, 12 C and 27 Al at bombarding energies of E / A = 11.4, 14.7 and 18.0 MeV.

TL;DR: The typical compound-nucleus decay populates two distinct mass regions as mentioned in this paper, and the two decay processes have been generally considered to be also quite different, as indicated even by their names.
Abstract: The typical compound-nucleus decay populates two very distinct mass regions. Evaporation produces nuclei with mgsses of four or less, while fission produces nuclei close to one-half the mass of the compound nucleus. The mass regions populated are so different that the two decay processes have been generally considered to be also quite different, as indicated even by their names. Such a dichotomy is stressed in the formalisms commonly used to calculate the decay widths. Light-particle evaporation is treated by applying the principle of detailed balance to connect the compound nucleus with the residue nucleus plus evaporated particle at infinite separation, whereas the transition-state formalism' applied to the saddle point is used for fission decay.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed derivation of the quantum molecular dynamics equation, discussed the various approximations necessary to derive this equation and to make actual calculations feasible, is presented, and the calculations presented aim at the solution of two of the most interesting questions of contemporary heavy ion physics: What causes a nucleus to fragment into many heavy pieces, and can we determine the nuclear equation of state from heavy ion reactions?
