Abstract
In an experiment designed to study the effect of angular momentum on compound-nucleus reactions, the compound nucleus has been produced at the same excitation energy by bombarding two different target nuclei: , with 20.7-MeV particles, and , with 16.3-MeV protons. When -particle and proton emission spectra from the compound nucleus were separately measured at 10° intervals, the angular distributions were found to be generally symmetric about 90°. The -particle-induced reactions, however, showed more compound-nucleus anisotropy than the proton-induced reactions. The experimental cross sections are compared with the predictions of the semiclassical compound-nucleus theory of Ericson and Strutinski.
