Abstract
The reaction at bombarding energy is studied using the Garfield + Ring Counter apparatus located at the INFN Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro. In this paper we want to investigate the de-excitation of aiming both at a new stringent test of the statistical description of nuclear decay and a direct comparison with the decay of the system formed through reactions previously studied. Thanks to the large acceptance of the detector and to its good fragment identification capabilities, we could apply stringent selections on fusion-evaporation events, requiring their completeness in charge. The main decay features of the evaporation residues and of the emitted light particles are overall well described by a pure statistical model; however, as for the case of the previously studied , we observed some deviations in the branching ratios, in particular for those chains involving only the evaporation of particles. From this point of view the behavior of the and decay cases appear to be rather similar. An attempt to obtain a full mass balance even without neutron detection is also discussed.
