Evolution of signatures of quasifission in reactions forming curium

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ²³²Th(¹²C, X)²⁴⁴Cm*, E=61-94 MeV; ²⁰⁸Pb(²⁸Si, X)²³⁶Cm*, E=138-188 MeV; ²⁰⁶Pb(³⁰Si, X)²³⁶Cm*, E=135-198 MeV; ²⁰⁸Pb(³⁰Si, X)²³⁸Cm*, E=154-167 MeV; ²⁰²Hg(³²S, X)²³⁴Cm*, E=157-191 MeV; ¹⁸⁶W(⁴⁸Ti, X)²³⁴Cm*, E=219-235 MeV; ¹⁷⁰Er(⁶⁴Ni, X)²³⁴Cm*, E=280-318 MeV; measured particle spectra, fusion σ(E), angular anisotropies using CUBE detector at Heavy-ion ANU facility; deduced mass-ratio spectra and widths, mass-angle distributions (MAD) as signatures of two-body quasifission. Comparison with Transition-state model and coupled-channel calculations.
