Results show transfer events to high excitation energies, which may be impossible to model in a coherent picture. This points to the need to explicitly include quantum decoherence in nuclear reaction models and ultimately to a new understanding of near Coulomb barrier nuclear reactions.Keywords: Decoherence; Quasi-elastic scattering; Transfer reactions201010.1063/1.34289322018-11-05
