Abstract

In this work, experimental data of projectile fragment distributions from a preliminary experimental study of the reaction of 11.5 MeV/nucleon ⁴⁸Ti on ⁴⁸Ti analyzed with the MARS recoil separator at the Cyclotron Institute of Texas A&M University are presented. Production cross sections, momentum distributions and excitation-energy distributions are extracted and compared with calculations with the Deep Inelastic Transfer (DIT) model and the Constrained Molecular Dynamics model (CoMD). Despite the limited extent of the present dataset, an overall agreement of the models with the data is found pointing at the prevailing nucleon-exchange character of the collisions at this energy.
