Coalescence of complex fragments

Abstract
The production of intermediate rapidity complex fragments up to A=14 from the reactions of Ar incident on Au and Ca targets at 92 and 137 MeV/nucleon has been described using the coalescence model. The resulting coalescence radii are independent of observed fragment mass which indicates that these fragments are emitted from a common source. Extracted interaction region radii agree with recent proton-proton correlation results.
