Abstract
The formation and the deexcitation of the composite nucleus formed during the Ni
+ Al reaction at 28 AMeV has been studied with the
multidetector
AMPHORA. A rigourous selection of the experimental data is described in order to
extract a central collision sample. Then different models are compared to the
data. The incomplete fusion process is in agreement with the data. The azimuthal
angle correlations of He-Li and Li-Li pairs have been used to discriminate
sequential or instantaneous emission. The sequential deexcitation is more
consistent with all the data. The different analyses allow to describe all the
characteristics of the compound nucleus and finally a fusion cross
section of
has been measured.
