Popis: Spin distributions of various residues populated via complete fusion (CF) and incomplete fusion (ICF) reactions in the interaction of 16 O with 160 Gd at the projectile energy E proj ∼ 5.6 MeV/A have been studied. The experimentally measured spin distributions of the residues associated with the ICF reactions are found to be distinctly different from those populated via the CF reactions. An attempt has been made to extract the side-feeding pattern from the spin distributions of CF and ICF reaction products. It has been observed that the CF products are strongly fed over a broad spin range. But, no side-feeding takes place in the low observed spins as low partial waves are strongly hindered in the fast α -emission channels (associated with ICF) in the forward direction. It has also been observed that the mean input angular momentum for direct α -emitting (ICF) channels is relatively higher than evaporation α -emitting (CF) channels, and it increases with direct α -multiplicity in forward direction.
