Abstract

The INDRA multidetector has been used to study multifragmentation processes in central collisions for the Xe + Sn reaction at 50 A MeV. A single isotropic source formed at an excitation energy of 12 A MeV exhausting most of the emitted charged products has been isolated in such collisions. The fragment kinetic energy spectra indicate a fast disintegration of the system with a radial collective motion of about 2 A MeV. The light charged particle characteristics within this scenario are also discussed.
