Abstract: Production cross sections of target residues have been measured from the interaction of iron with 135-MeV/u 12C ions, using nuclear chemistry techniques. Mass yield distribution was deduced from the measured cross sections on the basis of a Gaussian charge distribution function. We found that yields at A <30 mass region in this reaction were much higher than those in the reaction of 46 MeV/u 12C+Cu, and those products were partial to neutron-excess. The experimental results were compared with calculations based on the statistical fusion fragmentation model and the modified sequential binary decay model, respectively. It seems to indicate that multifragmentation is one of the dominated reaction mechanisms responsible for production of the fragments with mass number of A <30 at this incident energy.
