Investigating Complete and Incomplete Reactions of the 12C + 169Tm System

Introduction Understanding nuclear reactions is crucial in advancing fields like nuclear physics and material science. A recent study, “A Study of Complete and Incomplete Reactions of 12C + 169Tm System at Energy Range ≈ 4.16 –7.5 MeV/Nucleon,” explores the excitation functions of various reaction channels. The research sheds light on complete fusion (CF) and incomplete fusion (ICF) mechanisms, comparing experimental data with theoretical predictions.

Key Findings of the Study

• The study examined reaction channels involving the interaction of a 12C projectile with a 169Tm target.
• Excitation functions for reactions like 169Tm(12C, 4n)177Re and 169Tm(12C, αn)176Ta were analyzed.
• Theoretical calculations using the PACE4 code were compared with experimental data.
• Findings showed that non-α-emitting channels agreed well with theoretical predictions.
• For α-emitting channels, measured cross-sections exceeded theoretical values, indicating ICF contributions.

Implications in Nuclear Physics The study provides insights into the role of nuclear structure in fusion reactions. The American Physical Society (APS) emphasizes the importance of understanding fusion dynamics for applications in energy production and astrophysical modeling. Further research is necessary to refine models predicting nuclear reaction behaviors.
