Nuclear temperatures in the reaction ofN14with Ag at 35 MeV/nucleon

Abstract
The population of excited states of Li and Be nuclei emitted in the 14N+Ag reaction E/A=35 MeV has been measured. The results confirm a recently measured disagreement between the temperature determined from the slopes of the energy distributions and that obtained from the excited state populations. Recent models which were developed to explain the discrepancy are discussed.
