Incomplete fusion and complex-fragment emission: A continuum of isotropic sources

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
When observed in singles, complex fragments associated with the 18A-MeV /sup 139/La+/sup 64/Ni reaction present a complex invariant-cross-section pattern without an obvious source, while the center-of-mass velocities of the coincident binary events span the entire range from complete fusion to near projectile velocities. By gating on a given value of the source velocity, it is possible to characterize precisely the product formed in the corresponding incomplete-fusion process and its decay.
