Abstract

Reaction products from the bombardment of $^{20}\mathrm{Ne}$ and $^{16}\mathrm{O}$ gas targets with $^{20}\mathrm{Ne}$ beams have been measured at five laboratory energies between 70 and 160 MeV. Fusion, deep inelastic, and quasielastic processes were studied. Large deep inelastic yields (${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{\mathrm{Di}}\ensuremath{\gtrsim}600$ mb) with average $Q$ values of -50 MeV are present at the highest energy. Analysis of the fusion cross sections for $^{20}\mathrm{Ne}$+$^{16}\mathrm{O}$ suggests that the maximum angular momentum in $^{36}\mathrm{Ar}$ populated via this entrance channel may be as low as $29\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}2\ensuremath{\hbar}$.NUCLEAR REACTIONS $^{20}\mathrm{Ne}$+$^{20}\mathrm{Ne}$, $^{20}\mathrm{Ne}$+$^{16}\mathrm{O}$; ${E}_{\mathrm{lab}}=80 \mathrm{to} 160$ MeV. Measured elastic scattering, direct processes, deep inelastic processes, and fusion. All products with $Z>4$ identified. Measured angular distributions. Monte Carlo simulation of deep inelastic and fusion.
