Complete and Incomplete Fusion: Measurement and Analysis of Excitation Functions in¹²C+¹²⁸Te System at Energies near and above the Coulomb Barrier

Abstract

In order to study complete and incomplete fusion in heavy ion induced reactions the experiment has been carried out for measuring excitation functions (EF's) for several reactions in the system 12 C+ 128 Te, in the energy range ≈42–82 MeV, using activation technique. To the best of our knowledge EF's for presently measured reactions are being reported for the first time. The measured EF's have been compared with those calculated theoretically using codes CASCADE and ALICE-91. Effect of variation of parameters, of the codes, on calculated EF's has also been studied. The analysis of the present data indicates presence of contributions from incomplete fusion in some cases. In general, theoretical calculations agree well with the experimental data.
