Mid-peripheral collisions around the Fermi energy: comparison with an event generator*

The reactions $^{124}$Xe+$^{112,124}$Sn at E/A=50MeV have been recently measured. For mid-peripheral collisions, the projectile-like-fragment has been measured in coincidence with emitted particles (charged particles and neutrons). Experimental data will be compared to those obtained by the event generator Elie[1]. This two-step event generator consists of an entrance channel phase using a random process to determine the initial partition; and of kinematic propagation and secondary decay as the second phase. Experimental and generated energy distributions, angular distributions, and Z distributions of charged products will be examined. Yields of isotopically resolved fragments will be studied, including the effect of the target N/Z. [1] Elie: an event generator for nuclear reactions, Dominique Durand, arXiv:0803.2159
