124Sn target residues in the interaction of heavy ions at intermediate energies

Abstract

Cross sections, recoil energy distributions for residues produced by14N,20Ne,40Ar on124Sn targets have been measured in the 10–70 MeV/u intermediate energy range. As the projectile energy increases, processes as complete fusion-evaporation, incomplete fusion-evaporation and intranuclear cascade-evaporation participate progressively in the nuclear collisions. Peculiar residues corresponding to a gain of 4, 5 or even 6 protons for the124Sn target have been observed in the 30–50 MeV energy range.
