Abstract

We have measured the excitation functions of several reactions occurring in the fusion of ${}^{12}C$ with ${}^{103}{Rh}$ at incident energies up to about 230 MeV. The data can be satisfactorily reproduced by considering the preequilibrium emission of particles during the thermalization of the composite nucleus. The energy evolution of the mean-field interaction is also discussed. © 1996 The American Physical Society.
