Comparison between calculations with the AMD code and experimental data for peripheral collisions of Nb93+93Nb,116Sn at 38 MeV/nucleon

Experimental data concerning binary events in peripheral collisions for the systems 93Nb+93Nb and 93Nb+116Sn at 38 MeV/nucleon, collected with the Fiasco setup, are compared with calculations performed with the dynamic code AMD, coupled with the statistical code Gemini used as an afterburner. The comparison focuses on the properties of the quasiprojectile (QP) and on the total multiplicities of the emitted light charged particles. A good reproduction of the average mass ratio, charge Z, and center-of-mass angle of the QP is obtained in the examined impact parameter range (b≈7–12fm). Concerning the light charged particles, a general agreement is found for the total emitted charge, while some discrepancy remains for the multiplicities of the various species, especially for the protons, which are always overestimated by the calculations.
