Study of breakup and transfer breakup reactions in ⁷Li+¹⁹⁸Pt system around the Coulomb barrier

In continuation of our study on the effect of continuum states on nuclear reactions, exclusive measurements have been carried out for ⁷Li+¹⁹⁸Pt system at and above the Coulomb barrier. This measurement is complementary to our earlier measurement for ⁷Li on medium mass target ⁹³Nb. The earlier measurements were limited to beam energies above 1.3 times of the Coulomb barrier, on the other hand the present measurements were carried out at beam energies of V_B, 1.1 V_B and 1.3 V_B. One of the reason for the choice of ¹⁹⁸Pt as target is that, the complete and incomplete fusion cross-sections are available for ⁷Li+¹⁹⁸Pt system. The present measurement along with available data will shed light on the relative importance of different channels on reaction mechanism
