Heavy-ion Fusion Reactions near the Coulomb Barrier for Medium-Heavy Systems
Medium-heavy systems give the opportunity of studying in detail the effects of channel couplings on near- and sub-barrier fusion. The cases of 40,48Ca + 90,96Zr, and 40Ca + 94Zr are particularly attra...

Fusion near and below the Barrier: New Results and Challenges
The cross-sections for fusion of 16O with 204Pb and 208Pb have been measured down to ~ 8 MeV below the average barrier. The cross-sections fall more rapidly than is predicted by coupled channels model...

Measuredfusion cross sections of medium-heavy nuclei are analyzed in acoupled-channels approach which includes up to two-phonon excitations of thelow-lying 2 and 3 states. The fits to the dataare poor for the heaviest and softest systems but theyimprove when excitations of up to four phonons are included.Discrepancies with the data at extreme subbarrier energies can beexplained by including the effect of the nuclear incompressibility inthe ion-ion potential. ©2006 American Institute of Physics
