Complete and incomplete fusion of 6 MeV/nucleon light heavy ions on /sup 51/V

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
The reactions of 6 MeV/nucleon /sup 12/C, /sup 15/N, /sup 16/O, /sup 19/F, and /sup 20/Ne ions on /sup 51/V have been studied by measuring the yields and projected recoil range distributions of radioactive reaction residues and the inclusive spectra of emitted projectile-like fragments. Modelling of the reaction mechanism in terms of contributions from complete fusion and various incomplete fusion processes, on the hypothesis that the observed projectile-like fragments are essentially all due to incomplete fusion, leads to good agreement with the observed yields and recoil distributions. The results are discussed in the context of the sum rule model of incomplete fusion.
