  1. LISE++ development : application to Coulomb fission The code operates under MS Win-dows environment and provides a highly user-friendly interface. It can be freely downloaded from the fol-lowing internet addresses: http://www.nscl.msu/edu/lise http://dnr080.jinr.ru/lise

  2. Introduction Application The program 1)  has been developedto calculate the transmission and yields of fragments and fusion residues 2)produced and collected in a spectrometer. This code allows to simulate an experiment, beginning from the parameters of the reaction mechanism and finishing with the registration of products selected by a spectrometer. An application of transport integral3) lies in the basis of fast calculations of the program for the estimation of temporary evolution of phase space distributions. 1) D.Bazin, M.Lewitowicz, O.Sorlin, O.Tarasov, Nucl.Instr. and Meth.

The LISE code may be applied at low-energy, medium-energy and high-energy facilities (fragment- and recoil-separators with electrostatic and/or magnetic selections). A number of these facilities, like LISE3, SISSI/LISE3 and SPEG at GANIL, FRS at GSI, COMBAS and ACCULINA at Dubna, A1900 and S800 at NSCL, and RIPS at RIKEN, based on the separation of projectile-like fragments are included or might be easily added to the existing optical configuration files. LISE++ is the new generation of the LISE  code, which allows the creation of a spectrometer through the use of different “blocks”. A “block” can be a dipole (dispersive block), a material (i.e. a given thickness for a detector), a piece of beampipe, etc. Number of blocks in the spectrometer is limited by operating memory of Your PC and Your imagination

  6. Coulomb Fission High-energy secondary-beam facilities such as GSI, RIA, and RIBF provide the technical equipment for a new kind of fission experiment. A new model of fast analytical calculation of fission fragment transmission through a fragment separator has been developed in the framework of the LISE++ code. Using the LISE code now we can establish the parameters for the RIA fragment separator (see the next talk) . In the development of Coulomb fission in the LISE++ framework it is possible to distinguish the following principal directions: * Kinematics of reaction products; * Production cross-section of fragments * Spectrometer tuning to the fragment of interest to produce maximal rate (or purification).

Fission fragment kinematics at intermediate and high energies The kinematics of the fission process is characterized by the fact that the velocity vectors of the fission residues populate a narrow shell of a spherein the frame of the fissioning nucleus. The radius of this sphere Vf is defined by the Coulomb repulsion between both fission fragments. In the case of reactions induced by relativistic heavy ions, the transformation into the laboratory frame leads to an ellipsoidal distribution which will characterize the angular distribution of fission residues [1,2] (see Figure). Two different methods for fission fragment kinematics are available in LISE++: MCmethod and DistrMethod. DistrMethodis the fast analytical method applied to calculate the fragment transmission through all optical blocks of the spectrometer. MCmethod (Monte Carlo) has been developed for a qualitative analysis of fission fragment kinematics and utilized in the Kinematics calculator.

  8. Fission kinematics by Monte Carlo method All reaction settings (projectile, target, setting fragment) and excitation energies can be entered in the “Kinematics calculator” dialog. In the “2D fragment plot” dialog (see Figure) it was possible to set: The energy, horizontal and vertical angular emittances; The angular acceptance shape; The horizontal and vertical angular values and their variance; The center of energy silts and their size in %. Fig. The “2D fragment plot” dialog. Initial excitation energy of fissioning nucleus 238U is equal to 50 MeV

  9. 2D-plots Ax(horizontal component of the angle in the laboratory frame) versus Energy per nucleon of 132Sn final fragment after 238U(600MeV/u) fission. Angular acceptances H=60mrad and V=20mrad. The left picture represents case of using target thickness (Pb 4mm ), the right plot was got in the case of a zero thickness target.

  10. Fission kinematics by LISE analytical “Distribution” method The Monte Carlo method is a powerful tool for modeling, but sometimes the amount of time spent to get enough statistics makes it more beneficial to use fast analytical methods. The forward “intensity” matrix after cutting by a horizontal rectangle shape acceptance equal to 12 mrad. The forward“energy” matrix.

  11. Spectrometer settings in the case of fission The two new settings mode (“left peak” and “right peak”) have been developed for the case of fission reactions (see screen-shot of the dialog). The default method to tune the spectrometer in the fission case is “right peak” (as on more intense peak). Figure. Horizontal spatial selection of fission fragments by the slits S1. The spectrometer is set to the right peak of 130Te momentum distribution.
