Abstract

Complete and incomplete fusion reactions study in heavy ion induced reactions, by 16 O ions on 45 Sc at incident energies ranging between 39 and 114 MeV have been done using the activation technique followed by γ-ray spectrometry. The excitation functions for eleven reactions have been measured using this technique. A comparison of the experimental data has been made with the calculations based on statistical model. Excitation function measurement of various reactions, for the above projectile–target system is being reported for the first time. Complete and incomplete fusion reaction channels have been identified in the production of various residual nuclei, by analysing the experimental data. The results indicate the occurrence of incomplete fusion involving breakup of 16 O into 4 He+ 12 C and 8 Be+ 8 Be followed by fusion of one of the fragments with target nucleus 45 Sc.
