Abstract

The spin distributions are measured for the compound nucleus ⁸⁰Sr populated in the reactions ¹⁶O+⁶⁴Zn and ³²S+⁴⁸Ti. The comparison of the experimental results for both the systems shows that the mean γ-ray multiplicity values for the system ³²S+⁴⁸Ti are lower than those for ¹⁶O+⁶⁴Zn. The spin distribution of the compound nucleus populated through the symmetric channel is also found to be lower than the asymmetric channel. Present investigation directly shows the effect of entrance channel mass asymmetry on the reaction dynamics.
