Title: Excitation functions for complete-fusion and transfer reactions in {sup 4}He interaction with {sup 197}Au nuclei

Journal Article · · Physics of Atomic Nuclei

Excitation functions are measured for the fusion reactions {sup 197}Au({sup 4}He, xn){sup 201-xn}Tl that are induced by alpha-particle interaction with gold nuclei in the energy range 14-36 MeV and in which x neutrons (0 {<=} x {<=} 3) are evaporated. The stack-activation technique was used to record and separate reaction products. Experimental data on the fusion reactions followed by evaporation of one to three neutrons agree with results of previous studies. For the radiative-capture reaction {sup 197}Au({sup 4}He,{gamma}){sup 201}Tl, the upper limit on the cross section proved to be much lower. The excitation functions for the reactions subjected to measurements are compared with the results of calculations based on the statistical model and with the results of an experiment performed previously in a {sup 6}He beam.
