Influence of incomplete fusion on complete fusion in 16O + 115In interaction

In recent years, extensive efforts have been employed to understand the influence of incomplete fusion (ICF) on complete fusion (CF) just above the Coulomb barrier. In the ICF processes, there are particles which can be emitted either very fast (much faster than those coming from an evaporation process) or possibly very slow if they are emitted from the excited compound nucleus termed as CF particles. The fast particles having forward peaks consist of nucleons as well as the clusters of nucleons, like an alpha particle. These kinds of reactions were first of all observed by Britt and Quinton in early sixties. In their work, Inamura et al. measured charged particle-γ coincidences and found that at least a fraction of the fast α-particles observed in the 14N+159Tb reaction at 95 MeV may produced in ICF reactions
