The excitation functions for eight reactions produced in the interaction of 14N+59Co systemrnmeasured in the energy range ≈32-56 Mev and reported in the literature are compared withrntheoretical values calculated using the computer programs COMPLET and, a statistical modelrnbased Monte-Carlo simulation code PACE4. The effect of the variation of various parameters onrncalculated excitations functions have been studied. From this excitation functions study, therncomplete and incomplete fusion reactions in the light (medium) target nucleus could be studied.rnThe present analysis shows that excitation functions are in good agreement with the theoreticalrnpredictions. It has been observed that complete fusion, incomplete fusion and pre-equilibriumrnemission processes play important roles in heavy ion reactions at these energies
