Non-equilibrium emission of alpha particles in the interaction of 14N with 59Co and 93Nb at incident energy of 250 MeV

In this work, the results of measured inclusive double differential cross sections of α particles emitted in the interaction of 14N with 59Co and 93Nb at incident energy of 250 MeV are presented. The experimental data were collected in a wide angular range from 8 to 100 degrees in the laboratory system. The analysis of these data suggests that the measured alpha spectra contains contributions of alpha particles originating from various reaction mechanisms, all of which are important at this high energy. We have also compared our experimental results with the calculations by using a recently developed theoretical model code. This recently developed pre-equilibrium model code is hereby put to a stringent test as to how it performs in case of heavy ion reactions at such high energies.
