Blurred images of complete fusion and incomplete fusion: Reaction simulation analysis of fission-fragment angular correlations

“…This type of reaction involves the rapid ejection of one or several light particles prior to the dissipation and mixing of the translational energy into thermalized motion of the particles in the composite nucleus. If this direct emission of particles occurs from the projectile (or target) very early in the onset of the impact, then the term "projectile breakup" would be appropriate [8]. If this direct emission occurs throughout the period of energy dissipation, then terms such as "precompound decay" or "hot-spot" would be appropriate [9,10].…”
