Abstract
The neutron multiplicity, measured for each initiated reaction in a 4π scintillator tank, is shown to record the violence of the collision in terms of energy dissipation or linear momentum transfer. Examples for the application of the new tool are Ne- and Ar-induced reactions at 10 to 20 MeV/nucleon.
