Abstract

A new tool for the study of heavy-ion reactions is obtained by adapting a 4π-neutron-multiplicity counter to accelerator experiments. The instrument registers almost all neutrons emitted in each single reaction event. For quasielastic reactions of 290-MeV Ne20+Au197 the measured neutron multiplicity distributions allow a quantitative decompsotion of the cross section into two contributions: one with higher Q value from transfer reactions, one with lower Q value due to the decay of the decay of the projectilelike fragments.
