Data were obtained on the ..gamma..-ray yield from the fusion reactions of /sup 16/ /sup 18/O + /sup 24/ /sup 26/Mg in the 25 to 70 MeV energy range. Analysis of these data in terms of the relative yields of specific residues as a function of bombarding energy is almost complete for /sup 16/O + /sup 26/Mg. Of particular interest will be a comparison of these results with those for /sup 18/O + /sup 24/Mg. The investigation of the fusion cross sections of /sup 16/O + /sup 24/ /sup 26/Mg was extended from 70 MeV to 140 MeV. An unexpected decrease in the fusion cross sections begins at about 100 MeV and persists to the highest energy obtained. This investigation will be continued to 170 MeV and expanded to include /sup 18/O + /sup 24/Mg. Data were obtained on the interaction of /sup 16/O + /sup 40/Ca at 128 MeV to determine the reaction mechanisms, other than fusion, present at higher energy. Plans for continuation of these experiments and for new experiments are discussed. A major effort has been the development of new programing to take advantage of a new color graphics interactive terminal for data analysis. No data of significance are included with this report; completed work will be published. 2 figures. (RWR)
