Cross-sections for projectile-like fragments (PLFs) have been measured in the
24Mg$ + $59Co
reaction at E lab = 93 , 100 and 108MeV to investigate the projectile structure effect in incomplete fusion (ICF) reactions. In this study, the cross-sections for ICF channels involving the emission of Ne, O and C were found to be higher than the other ICF channels involving the emission of odd Z PLFs. This observation was attributed to the alpha cluster structure of the 24Mg nucleus. Significant cross-sections for incomplete fusion reactions at these beam energies indicated that the collision trajectories with l < l crit are contributing to ICF.
