Abstract
Kinetic-energy spectra and angular distribution of projectile-like fragments
have been measured in the reaction of 84 MeV
on
, using the surface barrier silicon-based
-
E
telescopes. The fragments close to the projectile show typical spectra of
quasi-elastic transfer reactions, which were found to be in agreement with
the calculations based on the direct surface transfer reaction model.
A significant cross-section of fast alpha-particles was found at forward
angles, reminiscent of incomplete fusion reactions, which could be explained
in terms of the direct surface transfer reaction model after taking into
account the level density of continuum states in the heavy reaction product.
The results have been explained in terms of the continuous evolution of the
reaction mechanism as a function of the mass transfer.
