Velocity spectra, angular, and mass distributions of the evaporation residues produced in the reaction [sup 28]Si+[sup 12]C at [ital E]([sup 28]Si)=104, 115, and 154 MeV have been measured in the angular range 2.5[degree][le][var theta][sub [ital L]][le]14[degree]. The results show for all the studied bombarding energies the presence of small contributions of incomplete fusion reactions. These small incomplete fusion components present in the evaporation residue cross sections appear to be due to a cluster transfer reaction mechanism. Similar results have been obtained bombarding a [sup 13]C target. The obtained results are compared with earlier measurements and the predictions of some existing models.
