TY - JOUR A1 - Soff, Gerhard A1 - Reinhardt, Joachim A1 - Müller, Berndt A1 - Greiner, Walter T1 - Delta-electron emission in deep-inelastic heavy-ion collisions T2 - Physical review letters N2 - This paper reports calculations of the influence of a reaction time T>10-21 s in deep-inelastic Xe-Pb collisions on the energy spectrum of δ electrons ejected in the same collision. It is shown that the lifetime of the superheavy composite system causes pronounced oscillations of width ε=h/T in the electron distribution, which survive the inclusion of multistep excitations and the folding with a lifetime distribution function. This effect may serve as an atomic clock for deep-inelastic collisions.
