Deep-inelastic reactions ofO16+48Ti at 100 MeV

The particle-inclusive doubly differential cross section, $d^2$σ/dE dθ, for ejectiles with atomic numbers Z=4 to 15 from 100 MeV ${}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$ ${+}^{48}$Ti, was measured over a large angular range. From a semiclassical analysis of the angular distributions we obtain the mean values and the dispersion widths of the deflection angles and the contributions from orbiting around 180°. A mean prolate deformation with β=0.37 is derived from the most probable Q values in the fully damped processes at large angles. Using the surprisal technique, the shapes of the energy spectra are well reproduced by constrained phase-space distributions. If the measured correlation of the angular momentum transfer and the reaction Q value is taken into account, only the mean Q values of the quasielastic and of the deep-inelastic reaction component are required as constraints.
