The data on the ϑ_c.m.=180° excitation functions of¹²C+²⁴Mg,¹²C* (4.43 MeV)+²⁴Mg and¹²C+²⁴Mg*(1.36 MeV) from 12.27 to 22.80 MeV, 16.53 to 27.47 MeV, and 11.33 to 26.40 MeV(c.m.) respectively have been subjected to statistical analysis. The effect of averaging interval, employed for data reduction, on the coherence widths as obtained from the autocorrelation function has been studied. The fluctuating features of the cross-sections turn out to be consistent with the statistical model expectations.

The data on theϑ_lab=7° excitation functions of¹²C(¹⁵N,⁴He)²³Na reaction betweenE_cm=9.42 and 17.33 MeV for 28 states upto an excitation energy of 8.940 MeV in²³Na have been subjected to statistical analysis. In addition to statistical fluctuations, the results of the analysis indicate the existence of non-statistical structures atE_cm=10.66, 10.93, 11.38, 12.62, 13.16, 15.32 and 16.18 MeV.

The ground state and excited state transfer yields for the 2-neutron pickup channel in the ²⁸Si+⁶⁸Zn system have been measured explicitly. The recoil mass separator at the nuclear Science Centre, New Delhi was used for the measurement. A NaI(T1) detector was used for detecting the deexcitation γ’s from the transfer products. The kinematic coincidence technique was employed for the transfer measurement. Simplified coupled channels calculations show that out of all transfer channels the major contribution to the sub-barrier enhancement comes from the ground state 2 neutron pickup channel with a ground state Q-value of+1.83 MeV.
