Abstract

The recoil range distributions of /sup 61/Cu, /sup 60/Cu, /sup 58/Co, /sup 57/Co, /sup 56/Co, /sup 54/Mn, and /sup 52/Mn residual nuclei produced in ..cap alpha.. particle bombardment of /sup 59/Co at 38, 50, 65, and 85 MeV have been measured and analyzed. Analysis of these measurements, as well as other recently published measurements of longitudinal linear momentum transfer to residue isobars at energies extending up to roughly-equal200 MeV, in the same reaction, shows that calculations based on the exciton model and a realistic description of the ..cap alpha..-nucleus interaction allow a quantitatively correct description of ..cap alpha..-induced reactions. Contrary to recent suggestions, data of this kind do not seem to indicate a change in the general character of the ..cap alpha..-nucleus interaction for incident energies below roughly-equal50 MeV/nucleon.
