Experimental Study of the 40Ar + 9Be Reaction at 36 MeV/nucleon and Comparison with Model Predictions

The projectile fragmentation reaction of 40Ar beam at 36 MeV/nucleon on the 9Be target was investigated using the COMBAS fragment-separator at the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna). Relative production yields were measured for a large set of isotopes from 13Be to 43Ca and compared with predictions of theoretical models. The target ratio for the reactions with 40Ar beam on heavy and light targets at slightly different energy was calculated to be able to highlight the differences between the models.
