  Aluminium is used as energy degrader or catcher foil or as backing material
in nuclear physics experiments. Excitations functions of 27Al+ 20Ne reaction in
the projectile energy range 49-166 MeV were measured using stacked foil
technique. Various evaporation residues such as 43,44Sc, 41Ar, 34m,38Cl, etc.,
were identified in the matrix.
