Abstract

Projectile residues have been studied in coincidence with fragments resulting from fission of the target residue for reactions induced by 315-MeV O16 ions on a U238 target. A kinematical analysis shows that the forward linear momentum transferred to the target nucleus is significantly smaller than that expected for simple transfer reactions, but larger than that expected for pure projectile fragmentation processes.
