Fusion and nonfusion phenomena in the 6Li+40Ca reaction at 156 MeV

Reaction products from 6Li-induced reactions on 40Ca at 156 MeV have been studied using the dExE idenitification as well as the inclusive γ-ray method. The complete fusion cross section has been found to be sigmasub(F)=67 +- 20 mb. The Z-distribution of fusion evaporation residues is compared with statistical model predictions. The Z-spectrum of reaction products shows a maximum at 15 < or approx. Z < or approx. 20, probably due to transfer and to incomplete fusion. It is suggested that the small value of the fusion cross section is due to the strong competition of 6Li-break-up processes. (orig.)
