Excitation functions of the reactions l~ xn) and mCd(p, xn) have been measured with stacked foil techniques for projectile energies E<__45 MeV and multiplicities x<__4 populating ground and spin isomeric states in 112-XIn. Preequilibrium (PE) contributions are more pronounced for the p than for the 3He entrance channel and for low multiplicities x and can be reproduced with the (geometry dependent) hybrid model. The observed isomeric cross section ratios require a reduced population for the high spin state (as compared with the expectation for equilibrated systems) whenever PE emission contributes significantly. Calculations for a full statistical model with a PE decay mode and approximate angular momentum conservation indicate PE neutron emission to be stretched in angular momentum space. For the (p, xn) reactions a more detailed coupling scheme is imperative whereas the (3He, xn) data suggest the competitive PE emission of complex particles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
