The Saci-Perere spectrometer of the University of São Paulo has been configured to perform particle-gamma coincidence measurements in order to study nuclear reaction mechanisms. The motivation of this type of measurement comes from the recent development of nuclear reaction models based on the São Paulo potential with the inclusion of an imaginary part with no adjustable parameters. New preliminary data on the ¹⁸O+¹¹⁰Pd transitional system are presented, and apparent similarities to weakly bound cases (e.g. ⁷Li + ¹²⁰Sn) are briefly discussed.
