Quest for toroidal freeze-out configuration in the central 197Au + 197Au collisions at 23 AMeV

Abstract

We present the results of the experiment performed by the CHIMERA collaboration with the 4π CHIMERA array, for the system 197Au+197Au at 23 AMeV. The experimental data are compared with ETNA and QMD model predictions. Efficiency factor is used as an indication of the formation of an exotic freeze-out configuration. Comparison between experimental data and model predictions may indicate the formation of flat/toroidal nuclear systems.
