Angular momentum transfer in incomplete-fusion reactions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The measured correlation of charged-particle energies and angles with ..gamma..-ray multiplicities indicate that the average angular momentum transferred in the capture of /sup 4/He, /sup 8/Be, and /sup 12/C from 153-MeV /sup 16/O projectiles by a /sup 154/Sm target increases linearly with captured mass. These incomplete-fusion processes are shown to originate from undamped peripheral collisions.
