Abstract
Reactions between6Li and6Li were studied in the laboratory energy range of 2–16 MeV. Angular distributions and excitation functions were measured for various proton, deuteron, triton andα-channels. In addition excitation functions were obtained for five γ-transitions in10B and the ground-state transitions in both7Li and7Be. Detailed statistical model calculations were performed under various assumptions concerning the formation of the compound nucleus. It is concluded that a smooth cutoff of the entrance channel angular momenta yields the only consistent description for both angular distributions and excitation functions. Only a few proton channels are dominated by compound nucleus decay. All other channels reflect the complex structure of6Li which causes a variety of direct reaction modes.
