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

Types of interactions
(a) The coulomb region withrmin>RN, whereRNis the distance for which the
nuclear interactions are ineffective.
(b) The deep inelastic and the incomplete fusion region withrmin=R 1 +R 2.
(c) The fusion region with 0≤rmin≤R 1 +R 2.
