Mass-Asymmetry effects in heavy ion reactions: Complete fusion Vs incomplete fusion

Abstract

Abstract.The Co projectile-target system have been measured for the first time. The recoil catcher technique followed by off-line γ-ray spectroscopy with HPGe detectors was used. The measured excitation functions are compared with the calculations based on the available statistical model codes. The probability of incomplete fusion is found to increase with the projectile energy. Moreover, an attempt has been made to observe the impact of mass-asymmetry on incomplete fusion probability. The effect of α-break-up energy (Q α ) on the ICF probability is also studied with the available data.

Complete and incomplete fusion reactions in the interaction of16O+55Mn system below 7 MeV/A: Measurement and analysis of Excitation Functions

“…The detailed description of the experimental procedure etc. used for the 12 C+ 59 Co and 20 Ne+ 51 V systems is given elsewhere [4,5,17].…”

“…have been a point of interest even at energies as low as 5 MeV/A. Recent studies report breakup of 12 C, 16 O and 20 Ne into 4 He, 8 Be and 12 C projectile fragments and their incomplete fusion with the target [1][2][3][4][5]. Long back, in 1950, Ghoshal in his famous experiment showed that proton and alpha projectiles forming the same compound nucleus decay similarly and thus corroborate the Bohr compound nucleus assumption [6].…”
