Nuclear reaction studies with particle-gamma coincidences using the Saci-Perere spectrometer

The Saci-Perere spectrometer of the University of Sao Paulo has been configured to perform particle-gamma coincidence measurements in order to study nuclear reaction mechanisms. The motivation of this type of measurement comes from the recent development of nuclear reaction models based on the Sao Paulo potential with the inclusion of an imaginary part with no adjustable parameters. New preliminary data on the 18O+110Pd transitional system are presented, and apparent similarities to weakly bound cases (e.g. 7Li + 120Sn) are briefly discussed.
