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: In this paper, a theory for the statistical emission of large fragments is developed, where a ridge line in the potential energy surface is defined which controls the decay width of the system into any two given fragments.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of angular momentum on an excited paired nucleus has been studied and the BCS Hamiltonian has been diagonalized and expressed in terms of the quasiparticle occupation numbers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the deformation of excited nuclei is studied on the basis of the methods of statistical mechanics and the relevance of the phase-space volume is discussed in the semiclassical limit.

TL;DR: In this article, the statistical fluctuations in the nuclear gap parameter are studied and the difference between the average and most probable gap parameter is discussed and the absence of sharp second order phase transition is shown.

TL;DR: The Reference Input Parameter Library (RIPL-3) as mentioned in this paper is a library of validated nuclear-model input parameters, referred to as the RIPL-2 library, which has been used extensively in the development and use of nuclear reaction modelling.

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?

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the concept of heavy ion dynamics and discuss the collision process within a three-step scenario, including fragmentation into many pieces of the interacting nuclei.

TL;DR: A review of the evidence on the properties of the nuclei A = 8, 9 and 10, with emphasis on material leading to information about the structure of the A =8, 9, 10 systems is given in this paper.

TL;DR: This version of A = 9 differs from the published version in that it has corrected some errors discovered after the article went to press and reference key numbers have been changed to the NNDC/TUNL format.
