Abstract
It is shown that all the features of fast alpha particles with energies close to the two-body kinematic limit emerging in heavy-ion collisions are well explained by the direct theory of stripping and knock-on reactions. Recently found particles with energies exceeding this limit are interpreted as a result of the newly discovered reaction process, namely, the direct quasi-fission reaction.
