The recoil range distribution of the radioactive evaporation residues in the reaction of 63 and 77.5 MeV [sup 12]C with [sup 93]Nb and that of 68 MeV [sup 16]O with [sup 89]Y have been measured using the recoil catcher technique followed by gamma spectrometry. The linear momentum transfers inferred from these recoil range distributions were used to identify the evaporation residues formed by complete and incomplete fusion mechanisms. The data are compared with Monte Carlo simulation of recoil range distributions of products formed by complete fusion to extract the contribution of incomplete fusion in the individual channels. The observations are discussed in the framework of existing models.
