Onset of incomplete momentum transfer in fusion-like processes

Year: 1983

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Velocity spectra of evaporation residues from the reactions lO + Al, Ca, and Ni have been measured at bombarding energies of 8.8, 13.6, and 19.6 MeV/u.Comparison with statistical model predictions shows clear evidence for the onset of incomplete momentum transfer at about 5 MeV/u above the interaction barrier.To first order, the results are similar for all targets, suggesting that the missing momentum is mainly associated with the projectile.The fraction of transferred linear momentum appears to decrease linearly with increasing relative velocity of the colliding nuclei at the barrier.t.
