The decay of 220 Ra * nucleus formed in two different entrance channels 12 C +208 Pb and 13 C +207 Pb is investigated over a wide range of incident energies using the dynamical cluster decay model (DCM). The DCM is a non-statistical model used to account for the decay of hot and rotating nuclei formed in low energy heavy ion reactions. The excitation functions are calculated by considering quadrupole (β2) deformations with optimum orientations [Formula: see text] of decaying fragments. The DCM-based cross-sections for evaporation residue (ER), fusion–fission, αxn and neutron decay processes find nice agreement with the reported experimental data over wide range of incident energies. The cross-sections corresponding to different decay mechanism are worked out within DCM by fitting neck length parameter (ΔR). The entrance channel and angular momentum effects are investigated in reference to the above-mentioned reaction channels. In addition to this, the fragment mass distribution is worked out by colliding 13 C weakly bound stable projectile with a variety of target nuclei resulting in 13 C +159 Tb , 13 C +181 Ta and 13 C +207 Pb reactions. At comparable projectile energies, the increase in target mass is shown to favor asymmetric fragmentation in the fissioning region. Besides this, the incomplete fusion (ICF) contribution is worked out for 12 C and 13 C channels by applying necessary energy corrections in the framework of DCM.
