Reaction kinetics of incomplete fusion reactions between heavy nuclei of Oxygen and Uranium and Oxygen and Gold are studied at 32.5 MeV bombarding energy to gain information about linear momentum transfer. It is found that the most probable linear momentum transfer is only about 75% of the beam momentum for these reactions. Binary massive transfer mechanisms and prompt nucleon emission are offered as explanations of this phenomena. It appears that nuclear mean field dynamics rather than nucleon-nucleon phenomenon dominate reaction kinetics at this bombarding energy. 5 refs., 8 figs.
