LCP Fast Emission vs. Evaporation from 46Ti∗

The study of pre-equilibrium (or fast) emitted particles is a useful tool to examine nuclear clustering; to study how possible cluster structures affect nuclear reactions, the NUCL-EX Collaboration (INFN, Italy) is carrying out an extensive research campaign on pre-equilibrium emission of light charged particles from hot nuclei. In this framework, the reactions 16O+30Si, 18O+28Si and 19F + 27Al at 7MeV/u have been measured at the GARFIELD+RCo array in Legnaro National Laboratories. After a general introduction on the experimental campaign, this contribution will focus on the analysis results obtained so far; effects related to the entrance channel and to the colliding ions cluster nature are emphasized through differences between the theoretical predictions and the experimental data
