Abstract

Measurement of fragment-fragment correlations in the reactions of 230 MeV ¹⁶O with ⁴⁰Ca and 280 MeV³²S with ²⁴Mg have been used to isolate processes in which symmetric decay follows nonequilibrium emission of one or two alpha particles. At the higher energy per nucleon. in contrast to previous observations for lower velocity projectiles, nonequilibrium emission followed by symmetric decay has approximately the same probability as the symmetric fission following complete fusion.

Charge distributions, kinetic energy spectra, and angular distributions were measured for the reverse kinematics reactions, 19.7 MeV/nucleon ⁴⁰Ar+¹²C, ²⁷Al. Invariant cross section plots constructed in the V∥-V⊥ plane give a global view of the several competing reaction mechanisms. The evaporation residue cross section, which dominates the fusion cross section for the ⁴⁰Ar+¹²C reaction, decreases dramatically in the ⁴⁰Ar+²⁷Al reaction and is replaced by isotropic binary decay, arising presumably from compound nucleus decay.
