Abstract
Improved statistical-model calculations allow a search for the lower and upper limiting angular momenta of compound-nucleus formation that give best fits to evaporation-residue mass distributions. For the + reaction in the energy range MeV, optimal fits are obtained for low- cutoff 0, and maximum equal to , obtained from total fusion cross sections.
