What is the Physics behind the 3He-4He Anomaly ?

Nuclear Theory 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

We show that coalescence of nucleons emitted prior to thermalization in highly excited nuclei can explain the anomaly of kinetic energies of helium clusters. A new coalescence algorithm has been included into the statistical approach to nuclear reactions formerly used to describe intermediate mass fragment production.
