Abstract

Residues following ¹⁶O+¹²C fusion were identified by their characteristic γ rays. For several transitions in ²³Mg, ²⁵Mg, and ²⁶Al, coincident neutron spectra were measured at six angles. Through use of an evaporation code, comparisons were made of these spectra with predictions of the statistical model at five ¹⁶O projectile energies between 43.2 and 56.0 MeV. The result requires an excitation energy dependence for the effective radius parameter r₀, which determines the spin cutoff factor.
