Dynamics of 17F+58Ni reaction via complete and incomplete fusion processes at above barrier energies

The dynamics of F-17 + Ni-58 reaction induced via a loosely bound projectile (F-17) is examined using the collective clusterization approach of the dynamical cluster decay model (DCM) with respect to the recent experimental data available at beam energies Ebeam = 54.1 and 58.5 MeV. The calculations are done for quadrupole deformations of fragments using the optimum orientation approach. In view of the loosely bound nature of F-17, the main focus of the present work is on the comparison of complete and incomplete fusion. It is studied using various components such as fragmentation potential, mass distribution, and barrier modification. Different decay modes (ER, IMF, HMF, and fission) are also compared to determine the complete fusion and incomplete fusion paths. Additionally, the decay paths of the nucleus formed from loosely bound (F-17) and tightly bound (O-16) projectiles are compared. Furthermore, the role of temperature-dependent pairing strength is analyzed in terms of the binary fragmentation of the compound system formed. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
