Abstract

Projectile breakup in reactions of 424 MeV and 520 MeV 16O+ 197Au was studied via coincidence measurements of projectile-like fragments and light particles. The quasi-elastic breakup of the projectile was found to proceed via sequential decay. In addition, the 12C- α channel showed important contributions from neutron pickup followed by successive neutron and alpha-particle emission, a mechanism generating four-body final states.
