Comprehensive study of the reactions induced by 12C on 103Rh up to 33 MeV/nucleon

Abstract Fifty-three excitation functions for the production of radioactive residues in the interaction of 12C with 103Rh have been measured from the Coulomb barrier up to 400 MeV by means of the activation technique. These excitation functions have been analyzed considering complete fusion, incomplete fusion of 8Be and α-particle fragments and, above about 200 MeV, the transfer of either one proton or one neutron from 12C to 103Rh. The emission of pre-equilibrium particles during the thermalization of the excited composite nuclei formed in all these processes and, in the case of 8Be and α incomplete fusion, also the re-emission of α-particles after a mean-field interaction or a few interactions with the target nucleons have been taken into account

Comprehensive study of the reactions induced by 12C on 103Rh up to 33 MeV/nucleon

Fifty-three excitation functions for the production of radioactive residues in the interaction of 12C with 103Rh have been measured from the Coulomb barrier up to 400 MeV by means of the activation technique. These excitation functions have been analyzed considering complete fusion, incomplete fusion of 8Be and \u3b1-particle fragments and, above about 200 MeV, the transfer of either one proton or one neutron from 12C to 103Rh. The emission of pre-equilibrium particles during the thermalization of the excited composite nuclei formed in all these processes and, in the case of 8Be and \u3b1 incomplete fusion, also the re-emission of \u3b1-particles after a mean-field interaction or a few interactions with the target nucleons have been taken into account

Pre\u2013equilibrium processes in the fusion of 12C with 103Rh up to 20 MeV/nucleon

We have measured the excitation functions of several reactions occurring in the fusion of 12C with 103Rh at incident energies up to about 230 MeV. The data can be satisfactorily reproduced by considering the preequilibrium emission of particles during the thermalization of the composite nucleus. The energy evolution of the mean-field interaction is also discussed
