Abstract

We have observed the emission of intermediate mass fragments with a maximum yield at the Coulomb barrier energy in the interaction of 250 MeV 16O ions with 59Co. These emissions, which become dominant at emission angles larger than 20°, are explained by assuming that they are produced by nucleon coalescence during the thermalization of the composite nuclei produced in the complete and incomplete fusion of 16O with 59Co.
