Excitation functions for complete fusion and transfer reactions in the interaction of 6He with 197Au nuclei
The excitation functions for the fusion reactions with subsequent neutron evaporation, 197Au(6He, xn)203 − xnTl (x = 2−7), and the neutron transfer reactions with production of the 196Au and 198Au isotopes have been measured. Unusually high cross section of the 198Au isotope production at energies below the Coulomb barrier has been observed. Possible mechanisms of production and decay of the transfer reaction products are considered.
