Statistical (?) decay of light hot nuclei

Abstract

The reaction 12C+12C at 95 MeV beam energy has been measured using the GARFIELD+RCo apparatuses at Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro LNL - INFN, Italy, in the framework of an experimental campaign proposed by the NUCL-EX collaboration. The aim is to progress in the understanding of statistical properties of light nuclei at excitation energies above particle emission thresholds, by measuring exclusive fusion-evaporation data. A theoretical study of the system, performed with a newly developed Monte Carlo Hauser-Feshbach code, is shown, together with preliminary results of the data analysis.
