Fusion and peripheral processes in the collisions of /sup 20/Ne+ /sup 20/Ne and /sup 20/Ne+ /sup 16/O

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
Reaction products from the bombardment of /sup 20/Ne and /sup 16/O gas targets with /sup 20/Ne beams have been measured at five laboratory energies between 70 and 160 MeV. Fusion, deep inelastic, and quasielastic processes were studied. Large deep inelastic yields (sigma/sub DI/> or approx. =600 mb) with average Q values of -50 MeV are present at the highest energy. Analysis of the fusion cross sections for /sup 20/Ne+ /sup 16/O suggests that the maximum angular momentum in /sup 36/Ar populated via this entrance channel may be as low as 29 +- 2h.
