Investigation of complete and incomplete fusion in 20Ne + 51V system using recoil range measurement.

Recoil range distributions of evaporation residues, populated in ²⁰Ne + ⁵¹V reaction at E_lab ≈ 145 MeV, have been studied to determine the degree of momentum transferred through the complete and incomplete fusion reactions. Evaporation residues (ERs) populated through the complete and incomplete fusion reactions have been identified on the basis of their recoil range in the Al catcher medium. Measured recoil range of evaporation residues have been compared with the theoretical value calculated using the code SRIM. Range integrated cross section of observed ERs have been compared with the value predicted by statistical model code PACE4. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
