“…However, in the present case contradictory results in terms of binding energy have been observed. Similar observations have been made in the cases of 12 C, 13 C+ 159 Tb [44,53] and 12 C, 13 C+ 181 Ta [49] systems. In order to explore this issue, the ICF strength functions in 12 C, 13 C+ 169 Tm systems have been studied in terms of projectile α-Q value in which the projectiles may be assumed to break up into the following channels: 12 C ⇒ 8 Be + α, Q α = −7.37 MeV, 13 C ⇒ 9 Be + α, Q α = −10.64 MeV.…”
