Abstract

Excitation functions for the yields of nineteen residual nuclei from the N14 + B10 reaction have been measured over the range Ec.m.=8.0025.75 MeV in steps of 250 keV with γ-ray techniques. The magnitude and energy dependence of the excitation functions for the partial yields are very different from those of the C12 + C12 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 B10(N14, x); Ec.m.=8.0025.75 MeV; measured excitation functions for the production of A=1023 reaction products; observed small fluctuations at Ec.m.=(10.8), 11.9, 13.9, 15.7, 16.3, and 18.7 MeV; deduced critical angular momentum for fusion.
