Population of n-rich nuclei with ⁷Li-induced Incomplete Fusion reaction — •A. Dietrich, H. Bauer, B. Binder, Ch. Gund, T. Härtlein, D. Pansegrau, and D. Schwalm — MPI für Kernphysik Heidelberg

The Incomplete Fusion reaction ⁷Li→¹⁶⁰Gd can be used to do spectroscopy of high spin states in n-rich nuclei, which are not accessible in standard (HI,xn)-reactions [1].
In order to study this reaction systematically, a 3mg/cm² thick Gd-target was bombarded by a ⁷Li beam at several energies from 35 MeV up to 67 MeV provided by the MP-tandem postaccelerator facility of the MPI-K in Heidelberg. With increasing energy an increasing importance of the breakup of the projectile into a fast forward-peaked light particle and a massive fragment, which fuses with the target nucleus, could be established.
A segmented Δ E-E-telescope was used together with several Ge-detectors for selecting the different reaction channels and for measuring the angular- and energy distribution of the light reaction fragments (typically p, d and t). In addition, the absolute cross sections for populating the individual reaction channels and the angular momentum distribution in the residual nuclei could be extracted.
