STUDY OF (14.0 MeV/u) URANIUM IONS INTERACTION WITH VANADIUM TARGET

Abstract

We have investigated Uranium ions interaction at energy 14.0 MeV /u incident on a Vanadium target using mica as nuclear track detector. The detector exposure was made from ions beam facility at UNILAC accelerator of GSI Darmstadt, Germany. The etched detector was scanned using an optical microscope. From the total binary tracks data events, elastic track events were separated using angular correlation criterion. The elastic scattering data have been separated from the binary events and used for the determination of quarter-point angle θ1/4 (grazing angle). Total and partial reaction cross-sections are measured using the statistic of inelastic two-pronged and higher multiplicity tracks. The experimental measured cross-sections are compared with the cross-sections calculated using sharp cut-off model. The theoretical prediction of reaction parameters of interacting heavy ions have also been determined, that are comparable with experimental measured values.
