“…Experiments have been performed showing the fusing nucleus producing higher orbital angular momentum values, L, in a compound nucleus than those produced in intense direct beams [3,4]. For this reason, there is interest to study this mechanism and its role in producing heavy and superheavy neutron rich isotopes which may be useful in future applications [1,5].…”

“…However, measurements have shown that 9 Be breakup occurs predominantly via an excited 8 Be nucleus [17], so this approximation is justified. The use of 20 Ne has not been examined thoroughly in current research, since most ICF experimental research uses projectiles with Z10 such as 9 Be, 12 C, 14 N, 16 O and 19 F against medium to heavy targets [5,[18][19][20][21][22]. The result of its breakup is interesting because of the much larger 16 O cluster that provides additional torque to the fusing α nucleus.…”

Using a classical dynamical reaction model, angular momentum (L) values of a compound nucleus due to incomplete fusion (ICF) at energies near and above the Coulomb barrier are studied. In this model, a projectile consisting of two cluster nuclei is fired at a stationary target nucleus. After breakup of the projectile due to Coulombic and nuclear forces, an α-cluster fuses with a 208Pb target, forming an excited 212Po compound nucleus. Results show that all ICF reactions produced higher angular momentum in the compound nucleus compared to a direct beam of α particles at the same incident energy. The highest angular momentum values produced in 212Po for near and above Coulomb barrier energies were obtained using a 20Ne projectile at and , respectively. This produced 25% and 50% L values above the next highest-Z projectile used, 8Be, respectively.
