description

The reaction 24Mg + 24Mg was used to produce the composite nucleus 48Cr at 60 MeV of excitation energy where a narrow resonance (170 KeV) has been found by measuring the elastic and inelastic channels. To determine the occurrence of deformation of this compound nucleus and its possible connection with the resonances and the hypothetical cluster structure, evaporative Light Charged Particles (LCP) were measured and compared to Statistical Model (SM) predictions. The experiment was performed at LNL using the 8πLP apparatus. The comparison of the evaporation residue-LCP coincidence angular distributions and LCP energy spectra with SM calculations supports the presence of a very large deformation of the composite nucleus 48Cr that scales with the angular momentum.
