Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 43–46 (2000)Balance of Mass, Momentum, and Energy in Splintering Central Collisions for 40Ar up to 115 MeV /NucleonReceived 1 September 1999; published in the issue dated 3 January 2000 For central collisions of (17–115)AMeV 40Ar+Cu, Ag, Au, an overall balance is determined for the average mass, energy, and longitudinal momentum. Light charged particles and fragments are separated into forward-focused and isotropic components in the frame of the heaviest fragment. Energy removal by the isotropic component reaches 1–2 GeV. For such high deposition energies, statistical multifragmentation models predict much more extensive nuclear disassembly than is observed. © 2000 The American Physical Society URL:
