Energy relaxation time in heavy ion collisions between 27 and 44 MeV/u
The excitation energy sharing between the two partners of binary dissipative collisions was derived for the 40Ar + natAg system at 27 and 44 MeV/u. From the eventual equilibration of energy between the two partners, and their separation time obtained from Landau-Vlasov simulations, the energy relaxation time was extracted, and compared with theoretical predictions.
