Description
The complete fusion - excitation functions of xn-evaporation channels of the reactions 144Sm(40Ar, xn){184-x}Hg, 148Sm(36Ar, xn){184-x}Hg, 144Nd(40Ca, xn)^{184-x}Hg, 142Nd(48Ca, xn)^{190-x}Hg, and 166Er(40Ar, xn)^{206-x}Rn have been measured by using the catcher foil method [1]. A modified version this technique was applied allowing to measure decay properties of α-radioactive nuclides with half-lives ≥ 0.1 s. The beam interruption method was used for the isotope identification. The influence of the beam energy spread at its passing through absorbing foils and the target layer on the excitation functions has been taken in account using the Gold deconvolution method [2]. The measured excitation functions have been compared with theoretically calculated with the coupled-channel model [3,4]. The influence of both the target and projectile nucleus deformations on the final xn-evaporation channel cross sections has been analyzed.
