Entrance channel effects in nucleon and. cap alpha. particle preequilibrium decay of /sup 63/Cu* and /sup 64/Zn*

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

Double differential cross sections for the inclusive production of neutrons, protons, and ..cap alpha.. particles from /sup 59/Co and /sup 60/Ni bombarded with ..cap alpha.. particles of energies E/sub ..cap alpha../ = 28 and 32 MeV, respectively, have been measured for several angles between 15/sup 0/ and 160/sup 0/. Hybrid model calculations for the preequilibrium decay consistently yield initial excitation numbers n/sub 0/ = 5(4) for both neutron and proton emission from ..cap alpha..+/sup 59/Co (..cap alpha..+/sup 60/Ni) if pairing effects are taken into account. The angular distributions of nucleons and ..cap alpha.. particles differ from those of the reactions p+/sup 62/Ni, /sup 63/Cu; they are discussed in the framework of the generalized exciton model that distinguishes between multistep direct and multistep compound contributions.
