Systematics of direct-$α$ production with weakly and strongly bound projectiles

The production of $α$-particles in reactions using both the strongly and weakly bound projectiles at energies around the Coulomb barrier show several interesting features. To understand these, the role of various reaction mechanisms responsible for $α$-production, such as non-capture breakup, capture of only one of the fragments subsequent to projectile breakup and their contribution to reaction cross sections have been investigated. A systematic study of the $α$-particle production based on available data for various projectile target systems have been performed and a classification based on projectile type is obtained.
