Influence of projectile cluster properties on fragment emission in incomplete-fusion reactions

Abstract

The influence of projectile cluster properties on the fragment emission in incompletefusion reactions is studied. In the framework of a direct-transfer model analytic expressions concerning the parallel width and he maximum of the fragment yield are derived within some approximations. The expressions exhibit a strong dependence upon the cluster properties of the projectile, viz. the binding energy of the fragments and the characteristic fragment sizes associated with the projectile cluster state. The comparison with experimental data confirms the predicted dependence. 25.70.Cd PACS:
