[en] The effects of inelastic excitation on the elastic scattering of heavy ions are considered within a coupled channels framework. Both Coulomb and nuclear excitation results are applied to ¹⁸O + ¹⁸⁴W and other heavy ion reactions

[en] Many recent papers have found that calculations with the standard angular distribution formula for fission fragments from compound nuclei do not reproduce the strong anisotropies observed in the decay of high spin systems. They conclude that a noncompound nuclear process must exist for some partial waves and postulate an ad-hoc angular distribution for this process in order to reproduce the strong anisotropies. It is the purpose of this contribtion to demonstrate that much of the data are, in fact, consistent with compound nucleus formation and to emphasize that the standard model is not a generally valid way to calculate fission fragment angular distributions from a compound nucleus

[en] One of the early hopes of heavy-ion-induced transfer reactions was to populate states not seen easily or at all by other means. To date, however, I believe it is fair to say that spectroscopic studies of previously unknown states have had, at best, limited success. Despite the early demonstration of selectivity with cluster transfer to high-lying states in light nuclei, the study of heavy-ion-induced transfer reactions has emphasized the reaction mechanism. The value of using two of these reactions for spectroscopy of high spin states is demonstrated: ¹⁴³Nd(¹⁶O,¹⁵O) ¹⁴⁴Nd and ¹⁷⁰Er(¹⁶O,¹⁵Oγ) ¹⁷¹Er

[en] Semiclassical analysis of heavy ion induced transfer reactions are discussed for the quasielastic region. Some unique aspects of these reactions are shown, the variety of features which can be understood semiclassically is demonstrated, and some open problems are indicated. 28 refs., 16 figs

[en] By selectively choosing the appropriate heavy ion transfer reaction one can access high spin states. As a demonstration of the technique two proton and two neutron states of high spin (both yrast and non-yrast) in Nd nuclei have been identified. These spectroscopic results have yielded the first direct information about the configuration of some of these states. 11 refs., 6 figs

[en] An earlier work on oxygen-16 reactions with nickel at 96 MeV is extended in order to investigate the extent to which two-body kinematics reproduce that process and to assess the possible role of light contaminants in the target for producing an apparent deep inelastic peak. Various mass spectra and differential cross sections are shown and discussed

[en] The fragmentation region is generally defined as the rapidity range where most of the valence partons of the incoming hadrons (or nuclei) are found after normal inelastic interactions. The disadvantages of the existing intersection region for fragmentation region studies are discussed and a slightly modified design is proposed which allows study of the fragmentation region. The considerations which led to the design of a spectrometer magnet are then outlined and some approaches to specific experiments are detailed. 4 refs., 6 figs., 2 tabs
