A comprehensive theory of the interaction of C-12 and O-16 with nuclei
, considering both mean-field and two-body nucleon-nucleon interaction
s is discussed. The excitation functions of a large number of reaction
s extending over several hundred MeV incident energies induced in the
bombardment of Rh-103 With C-12 and O-16 and residue recoil range dist
ributions are very satisfactorily reproduced.
