The nuclear reactions induced by 115 MeV'*N on "Ni have been studied using radiochemical recoil techniques. The projected differential ranges of the evaporation-like products, "Ga, "Ge and "As, exhibit Gaussian distributions, and the mean projected recoil ranges correspond to the ranges expected for füll momentum transfer reactions, while the projected differential recoil ränge of "Se does not show a Gaussian shape and its mean ränge is much shorter than expected. The projected mean recoil ranges of the target-like products (namely, cobalt isotopes) are considerably shorter than those expected for füll momentum transfer reactions. The isotopic yield distribution of cobalt isotopes is a nearly Gaussian distribution, and the most probable N/Z ratio is dose to that of the Compound nucleus. The formation cross-sections of cobalt isotopes show ßgg dependence, with the exception of that of '"Co. The scandium isotopes (Z = 21), fission-like products, can be considered to be produced by either fission or strongly damped collisions from the observed recoil energies.
