Abstract

Forward-angle yields of targetlike products in reactions between a ${}^{28}{Si}$ beam and a ${}^{14}N$ target have been measured at laboratory energies between 100 and 170 MeV. The ${}^{12}C$ and ${}^{16}O$ yields are found to be higher than those of ${}^{14}N$ over the measured range of energies. This is interpreted as evidence for the equilibration of charge and mass in orbiting reactions.
