Abstract

A systematic study of isotope temperatures has been presented for heavy-ion collisions at 600 MeV/nucleon via the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model in the company of the statistical decay model (GEMINI). We find that the isospin dependence of the isotope temperatures in multifragmentation is weak; however, this effect is still visible over a wide isotopic range. The isotope temperatures for the neutron-rich projectiles are larger than those for the neutron-poor projectiles. We also find that the isotope temperatures calculated by the model decrease with increasing nuclear mass.
