Abstract

 

In this paper we present the results of a Monte Carlo simulation of the effects of neutron evaporation on the angular and energy dispersions in neutron-rich nuclei as a function of the mass number A, the kinetic energy E and the number of emitted neutrons. We based our simulation on the assumption of an isotropic random distribution for the neutron emission angles in space and on a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution for the kinetic energy of the evaporated neutrons. Our results confirm large angular and energy dispersions for light, low-energy nuclei and for high neutron channels.
