Incomplete fusion reactions induced by /sup 12/C at 5. 5--10 MeV/nucleon

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Evaporation residues following the interaction of /sup 12/C with targets of /sup 197/Au, /sup 160/Gd, and /sup 120/Sn were measured in the energy range of E/sub lab/ = 5.5--10 MeV/nucleon. The experimental system allowed the determination of the cross sections of the complete fusion (CF) and the incomplete fusion (ICF) processes with a sensitivity to ICF processes below the percent level. The ICF processes were observed at all bombarding energies studied, down to energies slightly above the Coulomb barrier. The two processes have very different angular distributions, with ICF peaked at a significantly larger angle than the CF.
