Abstract

The differential cross sections for alpha-particle emission at an angle of 0 $${}^{\circ}$$ in the reactions induced by a 6-MeV/nucleon $${}^{56}$$ Fe beams incident to $${}^{238}$$ U and $${}^{181}$$ Ta targets were measured versus the alpha-particle energy by means of a high-resolution magnetic analyzer (MAVR setup). The resulting spectra were found to contain fast alpha particles of energy corresponding to the two- and three-body exit reaction channels, including alpha particles of energy close to the two-body kinematical limit. The data obtained in this experiment were analyzed on the basis of the moving-source model. The emission of nonequilibrium alpha particles in the forward direction from the heavier target nucleus upon the complete or incomplete fusion of nuclei was revealed within the time-dependent quantum approach.
