Statistical binary decay of35Cl+24Mg at ≈ 8 MeV/nucleon

The properties of the two-body channels in the35Cl+24Mg reaction at a bombarding energy of 275 MeV, have been investigated by using fragment-fragment coincident techniques. The exclusive data show that the majority of events arises from a binary-decay process. The rather large number of secondary light charged-particles emitted from the two excited exit fragments are consistent with the expectations of the Extended Hauser-Feshbach Method. Therefore no evidence for the occurence of ternary break-up events is observed.
