Collisions between [sup 106]Cd and [sup 54]Fe at 30 MeV above the Coulomb barrier by high resolution [gamma][gamma] coincidences

In a [gamma][gamma]-coincidence study of collisions of [sup 106]Cd with 247 MeV [sup 54]Fe we have quantitatively identified the product nuclei formed in fusion-evaporation as well as in binary reactions. Individual binary processes were sampled through identification of numerous exit partner pairs with the help of [gamma][gamma] cross coincidences. The data also provide information on the angular momentum transferred to the product nuclei and on charge equilibration in the collision process. The results reveal important features of heavy-ion collisions that are difficult to obtain in measurements using charged particle detection alone.
