Dynamical effects in heavy-ion induced ternary breakup

By using the improved quantum molecular dynamics model, the mechanism of ternary breakup reactions is systematically studied with several symmetrical colliding systems. The result shows that the nearly symmetrical ternary breakup occurs in central and semiperipheral reactions and experiences an extremely and sufficiently inelastic collision with the intense nucleon exchanges. The dynamical effects and nucleon–nucleon correlations play very important roles for determining the outcome of the reactions.
