Highly deformed $^{40}$Ca configurations in $^{28}$Si + $^{12}$C
Abstract
The possible occurrence of highly deformed configurations in the Ca di-nuclear system formed in the Si + C reaction is investigated by analyzing the spectra of emitted light charged particles. Both inclusive and exclusive measurements of the heavy fragments (A 10) and their associated light charged particles (protons and particles) have been made at the IReS Strasbourg {\sc VIVITRON} Tandem facility at bombarding energies of Si) = 112 MeV and 180 MeV by using the {\sc ICARE} charged particle multidetector array. The energy spectra, velocity distributions, and both in-plane and out-of-plane angular correlations of light charged particles are compared to statistical-model calculations using a consistent set of parameters with spin-dependent level densities. The analysis suggests the onset of large nuclear deformation in Ca at high spin.
