Contribution to the study of the 40Ar + 197Au system at 14.6 MeV/u

We present here some experimental results concerning the system Ar + Au at 14.6 MeV/u. Light fragments, fission fragments and heavy low-energetic fragments were detected at 15, 20, 45 degrees in the reaction plane. A large moving position sensitive, parallel plate counter covered an angular range from 17 to 82 degrees, on the other side of the beam. The fission cross section is of the order of 1800+-300 mb; it originates mainly from an incomplete fusion process with a most probable linear momentum transfer of 90 % of the incident one. Moreover there is evidence of heavy, low- energetic fragments
