Analyzed impact parameter and mass dependence of IMF production.

Abstract

We present a complete systematic theoretical study of multifragmentation and its associated phenomena in heavy ion collisions. This study is performed within an Isospin dependent Quantum Molecular Dynamical Model (IQMD) and using Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) algorithm. Simulations are carried out to study the different parameters like time evolution of multiplicity, mass distribution, impact parameter dependence and IMF's production dependence of projectile & target mass. The rise and fall in multiplicity of IMF's is observed. Results are compared with experimental data of ALADIN and are found to be in close agreement.
