A STUDY OF EXCITATION FUNCTIONS FOR SOME RESIDUES PRODUCED IN THE SYSTEM 14N+128Te IN THE ENERGY RANGE ≈ 64–90 MeV

The excitation functions for eight reactions produced in the interaction of 14N+128Te have been measured in the energy range ≈ 64–90 MeV using the activation technique. To the best of our knowledge these measurements have been performed for the first time. The measured excitation functions are compared with theoretical calculations done using the computer programs ALICE-91 and PACE. The effect of the variation of various program parameters on calculated excitation functions have been studied. The present analysis indicates that complete fusion, incomplete fusion and pre-equilibrium emission processes play important roles in these reactions.
