Role of the target orientation angle and orbital angular momentum in the evaporation residue production
The influence of the orientation angles of the target nucleus symmetry axis
relative to the beam direction on the production of the evaporation residues is
investigated for the Ca+Sm reaction as a function of the beam
energy. At low energies (137 MeV), the yield of evaporation
residues is observed only for collisions with small orientation angles
().
At large energies (about 140--180 MeV) all the orientation
angles can contribute to the evaporation residue cross section
in the 10--100 mb range, and at 180 MeV
ranges around 0.1--10 mb because the fission barrier for a compound nucleus
decreases by increasing its excitation energy and angular momentum.Comment: 20 pages, 10 figures, submitted to JPS
