Pre-equilibrium reactions

particles emitted in various
types of reactions
The pre-equilibrium reactions take place before the formation of the compound
nucleus.
Heavy Ion reactions

heavy ions
Types of interactions
(a) The coulomb region with r min > R N , where R N is the distance for which the
nuclear interactions are ineffective.
(b) The deep inelastic and the incomplete fusion region with r min = R 1 + R 2 .
(c) The fusion region with 0 ≤ r min ≤ R 1 + R 2 .
