Abstract

The excitation functions for production of 45 residues in the interaction of 12C with 103Rh at incident energies ranging from about 40 to 400 MeV are analysed in terms of many competing reaction mechanisms including complete and incomplete fusion reactions and the quite relevant contribution of the decay of the target nucleus excited in the inelastic scattering of the incident 12C ions. The cross-sections of most of these mechanisms have been obtained by extrapolation from the values measured in the interaction of 12C with the neighbouring nucleus 93Nb. The agreement between experimental data and model predictions is very good in most cases.
