Study of complete and incomplete fusion for loosely bound projectiles 6He and 6Li on 165Ho and 166Er targets
Abstract
Complete fusion (CF) and incomplete fusion (ICF) reactions were studied for the cases of the loosely bound 6He and 6Li projectiles bombarding 166Er and 165Ho targets at energy of about 10 MeV/nucleon. Experiments were carried out to test an approach exploiting the measured intensities of γ rays emitted at the transitions between the yrast-band levels of reaction products formed after the termination of neutron evaporation. Partial waves feeding the CF reactions 165Ho (6Li, 5 n) 166Yb and 166Er(6He, 6 n) 166Yb as well as ICF 165Ho (6Li, α3n) 164Er and 166Er(6He, α4n) 164Er reaction channels were revealed from the obtained γ-ray data. The method of exit channel identification via the triple coincidence (γ1-γ2-light charged particle) was employed for these reactions study. (c) 2012: Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
