Theoretical analysis demonstrates substantial deviations from expected target-charge scaling in heavy-ion Coulomb dissociation, highlighting the critical role of apparent charge distribution.
It is demonstrated that the naive expectation of ZT² dependence of the cross section for reactions produced via Coulomb dissociation in heavy ions is modified substantially due to the ``apparent'' charge distribution. The deviations are shown to be important in predicting both the energy and the ZT dependence of the cross sections. The effect increases with Q value of a given dissociation channel; for a given Q value the deviation is larger for lower incident energy.
