Abstract
The complete-fusion excitation functions of $xn$-evaporation channels for the reactions $^{144}\mathrm{Sm}(^{40}\mathrm{Ar},xn)^{184\ensuremath{-}x}\mathrm{Hg}$, $^{148}\mathrm{Sm}(^{36}\mathrm{Ar},xn)^{184\ensuremath{-}x}\mathrm{Hg}$, $^{144}\mathrm{Nd}(^{40}\mathrm{Ca},xn)^{184\ensuremath{-}x}\mathrm{Hg}$, $^{142}\mathrm{Nd}(^{48}\mathrm{Ca},xn)^{190\ensuremath{-}x}\mathrm{Hg}$, and $^{166}\mathrm{Er}(^{40}\mathrm{Ar},xn)^{206\ensuremath{-}x}\mathrm{Rn}$ have been measured by using the catcher foil technique. Its modified version as well as a corresponding software of data processing, including a deconvolution procedure to take into account effects caused by spreading the energy of the beam at its passing through absorbing foils, have been described. The measured excitation functions have been compared with ones theoretically calculated with the coupled-channel model.
