Probing reaction mechanisms in ¹⁴N fusion with ⁹³Nb

Numerous aspects of nuclear reactions have been uncovered with the development of accelerators and spectroscopic equipment. In the low energy region, the strength of reaction mechanisms, such as complete fusion (CF), in-complete fusion (ICF) or breakup fusion, deep inelastic collision (DIC), quasi-elastic collision (QEC), direct reaction (DR), transfer reaction (TR), pre-equilibrium emission (PEQ), etc., is still not completely understood. We have made an attempt to analyze the nuclear reaction processes in the fusion of ¹⁴N with ⁹³Nb, as there have only been a few experiments employing non-cluster projectiles like ¹⁴N and ¹⁹F
