Abstract: (APS)
To understand the low-energy incomplete fusion (ICF) reaction dynamics, the excitation function measurements of C12+Ho165 system has been performed in the energy region of ≈ 4–7 MeV/nucleon, by employing the stacked foil activation technique. The cross sections of the measured evaporation residues are compared with the theoretical predictions of statistical model code PACE4, which takes into account only the complete fusion (CF) reaction cross section. It is observed that residues populated via xn and pxn channels are in good agreement with the PACE4 predictions, implying that these residues are populated via CF process. However, in the case of α-emission channels a significant enhancement from the PACE4 predictions is observed even after the deduction of precursor contribution, which is accredited to ICF process. The projectile break-up probability is found to increase with increment in the incident projectile energy. Further, the dependence of incomplete fusion dynamics on entrance channel parameters like mass asymmetry, Coulomb effect (ZPZT), and projectile Qα value is systematically studied. The present results reveal that a single entrance channel parameter does not oversee the ICF reaction dynamics but have varying contributions depending upon the projectile-target combination. Moreover, the effect of projectile break-up on complete fusion cross section at energies above the Coulomb barrier is also studied. The suppression in fusion cross section is observed when compared with the universal fusion function.- Nuclear Reactions
