Abstract
Projected range distributions in stacked foils were determined for the -active products from the reactions at various bombarding energies from 76 to 163 MeV and at 123 and 163 MeV. The products identified were , , , and . Stacked Al leaf foils were used for further study of the particularly interesting region of bombarding energies near the Coulomb barrier. Here, projectile residues are ejected in a preferentially backward direction, giving the recoiling products, , energies and ranges up to about three times the values possible from a compound-nucleus reaction. For bombarding energies above about 1.3 times the Coulomb barrier, the range distributions for the products typically peak at ranges from ¼-½ the compound-nucleus range, but most have a long-range tail. With the help of angular-distribution experiments, it was possible to clarify the mechanisms in a qualitative way. No evidence was obtained which indicates that transfer might be a preferred mode. Improved half-lives were obtained for . These are 2.42±0.05 h, 14.6±0.6 h, and 25.5±1.0 min, respectively, where the uncertainties are standard deviations.
