Abstract
The angular distribution of nuclei produced in the interaction of ions with has been measured over the energy range 12-32 MeV. The results have been compared with a distroted-wave calculation for the () pickup process and with a statistical-theory calculation for the evaporation process. It is found that contributions from both mechanisms are required to reproduce the data. The compound-nuclear process, which involves the evaporation of an particle at the lower energies and of four nucleons at the higher ones, accounts for most of the yield at small angles to the beam, whereas the pickup process accounts for most of it at large angles.
