Abstract
The reaction was studied in order to investigate the effects of the projectile neutron-halo structure on the reaction mechanism at energies around the Coulomb barrier. Elastic scattering angular distributions, transfer∕breakup angular distributions, and fusion excitation functions have been measured. Due to the low-recoil energy of the evaporation residues and the low intensity of the beam, the fusion cross section was measured by detecting off-line the atomic x-ray emission which follows the electron capture decay of the evaporation residues. For comparison the reaction was studied using the same technique. The data for the reaction show that the transfer and breakup mechanisms account for almost of the total reaction cross section, moreover we do not observe an enhancement of the fusion cross section when compared with the reaction.
