Trends of total reaction cross sections for heavy ion collisions in the intermediate energy range

Direct measurements of total reaction cross sections (sigma R) have been performed in the energy range of 10-300 MeV/nucleon for heavy ion collisions. A decrease of sigma R with increasing energy was observed for a wide range of masses of the colliding systems. The data suggest that sigma R reaches a minimum located around 300 MeV/nucleon independently of the projectile target combination. A dependence of sigma R on mass asymmetry of the svstem is also demonstrated. Trends of sigma R in this energy range are well reproduced by the predictions of a simple microscopic model based on individual nucleon-nucleon collisions. Our data have been employed in this framework to derive a new semi-empirical parametrization of sigma R. Most of the experimental results in the intermediate and high energy range have been reproduced by this parametrization using a single energy-dependent parameter.
