Abstract
Excitation functions for the yields of nineteen residual nuclei from the + reaction have been measured over the range MeV in steps of 250 keV with -ray techniques. The magnitude and energy dependence of the excitation functions for the partial yields are very different from those of the + system. The total fusion cross section appears to saturate at an energy and a magnitude which are lower than expected from previous systematics. Small, regular fluctuations can be seen in the fusion cross section, one of which is very narrow. However, the structure observed by L'Ecuyer et al. was not seen in this work.
NUCLEAR REACTIONS ; MeV; measured excitation functions for the production of reaction products; observed small fluctuations at MeV; deduced critical angular momentum for fusion.
