Directional correlation of nuclear-collision probability for aligned beams of deformed nucleus

Abstract: Interaction cross sections have been measured for spin-aligned nuclear beams of deformed nucleus. The spin-aligned nuclear beams were created by selecting the momentum of fragments produced in the projectile fragmentation of intermediate energy heavy-ion beams. The directional correlation of nuclear reaction probability for heavy-ion beams of deformed nucleus has been directly observed for the first time. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
