Particle- coincidence studies have been a promising but not well exploited means of using incomplete fusion reactions to gain access to states in heavy nuclei near stability. At beam energies near the Coulomb barrier, fusion of the heavy fragment from break-up of the projectile with emission of non-equilibrated particles or other charged particles can be used to study relatively neutron-rich nuclei which cannot be reached by fusion, evaporation reactions with stable beams. Qualitative features which make the reactions attractive as a spectroscopic tool include a spin input which is higher than that achievable if fusion reactions were carried out with beams equivalent to the massive fragment and a correlation between the angle of emission of the light fragment and the number of evaporated neutrons which assists channel identification.
