Abstract
From coincidence measurements between projectile fragments or heavy residues and their associated γ-rays, we have derived the angular momentum transfer in the incomplete fusion reactions of 310 MeV ¹⁶O with ¹⁵⁴Sm as a function of linear momentum transfer. The results have been compared with recent model predictions.
