Is there incomplete fusion mechanism beyond 100A MeV?

Abstract

Abstract Presented is a universal description of the generalized fusion excitation function which indicates that the fusion reaction mechanism should vanish at center-of-mass energy per nucleon of about 13 MeV/nucleon independently of the specific heavy-ion reaction system. Placing reliance on this result and comforted by semiclassical transport model simulations we suggest that the proposed persistence of the incomplete fusion cross sections in the measurement of the 14 N induced reactions on heavy targets at beam energies between 100 A and 155 A MeV should be attributed to a geometrical participant-spectator-like reaction mechanism.
