Abstract
Angular distributions have been measured for the reactions (, ), (, ), and (, ) at MeV, and compared to Hauser-Feshbach predictions. Additionally, excitation functions for (, ) and (, ) in the region of 53 MeV have been taken. The reactions which involve and are well fitted by the Hauser-Feshbach theory, indicating these products are formed via a compound nuclear reaction. The relative cross sections between the discrete states populated in + and + are best described by a critical angular momentum between . The magnitude of the (, ) reaction is poorly described by Hauser-Feshbach theory, indicating a noncompound nature for this reaction channel.
