Abstract

Total fusion cross sections have been measured for ^{18, 17, 16}O + ²⁷Al systems at bombarding energies 27–42 MeV. The evaporation residues were detected in the angular range 4°–25° (lab) using a $†E−E$ counter telescope. Barrier radii extracted from total fusion and elastic scattering cross sections are found to increase with the projectile mass. The effect of the yrast levels on the isotopic yields in the evaporation cascade is investigated.

Nuclear structure effects on over-barrier fusion reactions investigated with a new phenomenological model
2023, Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics
We investigate the occurrence of nuclear structure effects in the cross section of heavy-ion fusion reactions at energies above the Coulomb barrier. To this end, we initially develop a universal phenomenological model capable to reproduce, with an unprecedented accuracy, all previously published experimental fusion excitation functions with a few parameters. The new model, which foresees exclusively charge, mass, and energy of the colliding systems, shows a clear saturation of the critical angular momentum and avoids analytical non-regularities. The predictions of the newly developed model are then inspected to pin down residual discrepancies with the data, which could be ascribed to the structure of the colliding systems. In this framework, we obtain the following findings: (1) for the first time, we suggest an anomaly in the optimum value of the fusion cross section for systems having nearly-zero fusion Q-values; (2) we point out the occurrence of shell closure effects in the fusion of light systems; (3) we suggest that shell effects are washed-out at relative velocities $v_{r e l} ≳ 0.07 c$ ; (4) in the higher energy part of the fusion excitation function, the cross section for colliding systems involving fluorine or neon isotopes impinging on $2 p_{3 / 2}$ - $1 f_{5 / 2}$ nuclei is suppressed, possibly due to the occurrence of α-clustering effects enhancing α-transfer reactions.
An imaginary potential with universal normalization for dissipative processes in heavy-ion reactions
2009, Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics
In this work we present new coupled channel calculations with the São Paulo potential (SPP) as the bare interaction, and an imaginary potential with system and energy independent normalization that has been developed to take into account dissipative processes in heavy-ion reactions. This imaginary potential is based on high-energy nucleon interaction in nuclear medium. Our theoretical predictions for energies up to $\approx 100 MeV / nucleon$ agree very well with the experimental data for the $p, n + nucleus$ , ¹⁶O + ²⁷Al, ¹⁶O + ⁶⁰Ni, ⁵⁸Ni + ¹²⁴Sn, and weakly bound projectile ⁷Li + ¹²⁰Sn systems.
Comparison between heavy-ion reaction and fusion processes for hundreds of systems
2006, Nuclear Physics A
A large number of heavy-ion fusion and reaction cross section data are compared in different regions of mass and energy. The totally parameter-free São Paulo potential is used as basis for comparison within the context of the barrier penetration model. The systematics indicates that, in average, the fusion process represents about 74% of the total reaction cross section. The regions of mass and energy where this result was obtained is discussed in the text.
Dissipative phenomena and α-particle emission in reactions induced by 16O on 27Al between 46 and 85 MeV
1987, Nuclear Physics, Section A
The various exit channels of reactions induced by ¹⁶O on ²⁷Al with ejectiles ranging from α to Na have been studied at 84.5 MeV, 80.6 MeV, 75.5 MeV, 62 MeV and 46 MeV incident energy. Three-fold differential cross sections $d^{3} σ/(d Ω · d E · d Z)$ of the reaction products have been measured with a large-area position-sensitive ionization chamber. In addition, the nuclide distributions of the reaction products and the correlation between α-particles and projectile-like fragments were measured at 80.6 MeV. At E_lab = 70 MeV the deep-inelastic collision starts to compete with other reaction mechanisms like quasi-elastic reactions or complete fusion. The division of the reaction cross section among the different channels and its dependence on the incident energy are discussed. The relaxation process of the reaction is studied, the effect of the potential energy surface on the charge distribution and the nuclide distribution are discussed. The coincidence measurement shows that some α-particles are possibly produced in incomplete deep inelastic processes.
