Popis: Angular distributions and inclusive energy spectra of isotopes with masses 23--41 were measured for the reaction [sup nat]Si([sup 16]O,[ital X]) at bombarding energies of 96.4, 112.4, and 127.8 MeV. Complete and incomplete projectile momentum transfer components of the resulting velocity distributions were separated by kinematic transforms which rely on an angular distribution function fitted to the data using center-of-mass frame symmetry conditions. Characteristics of the extracted complete momentum transfer component spectra, mass distributions, and laboratory frame angular distributions are consistent with fusion-evaporation models. Comparison with the Glas-Mosel parametrization and predictions for the angular momentum barrier to fusion indicate that at 112.4 and 127.8 MeV, competing entrance channel processes, rather than compound nucleus formation limits, restrict the fusion cross section. Spectra and cross sections of the incomplete momentum transfer component are consistent with sequential two-body breakup/fusion calculations.
