Dynamics of heavy ion reactions involving compound and non compound nucleus mechanisms

Abstract

The main objective of the present work is to carry out a comprehensive analysis of decay patterns of different compound systems formed in heavy ion induced reactions at low energy regime. The dynamics of both compound nucleus (CN) and non compound nucleus (nCN) decay mechanisms is studied by using the dynamical cluster-decay model (DCM), which estimates the relative probability of all the decay channels/fragments by treating them on equal footing. For CN mechanism, the DCM is applied to explore the decay paths of compound nuclei in view of complete fusion (CF) and incomplete fusion (ICF) processes. Further, the contribution of nCN component in heavy ion reactions is investigated in the form of deep inelastic collisions (DIC) and quasi fission (QF) processes. Also, the relevance of excitation energy, deformations, orientations, angular momentum, and isospin (N/Z ratio) is studied for both CN and nCN mechanisms.
