A study of coupled-reaction channel effects in the36S +37Cl system, hybridization between single particle orbits

Elastic and inelastic scattering as well as transfer transitions involving a valence proton in thesd- andfp- shell orbits are studied in the interaction of37Cl +36S at ECM=50 MeV. Experimental angular distributions of single particle states of37Cl (elastic and inelastic transfer) are presented with a CRC analysis. In the CRC calculations the effects of inelastic and transfer couplings are studied using known spectroscopic information. In the CRC analysis six single particle bound states and the collective 2+ excitation of36S are included in the coupling scheme. Higher order coupling effects are found to be important. A distinct effect, the mixing of single particle states (of different pari…

Fusion-fission and quasifission of superheavy systems withZ=110–116formed inCa48-induced reactions

Background: In heavy-ion-induced reactions the mechanism leading to the formation of the compound nucleus and the role of quasifission is still not clear.Purpose: Investigation of the quasifission process of superheavy composite systems with $Z=110\text{\ensuremath{-}}116$ and comparison with properties of fusion-fission and quasifission of lighter composite systems.Method: Mass and energy distributions of fissionlike fragments formed in the reactions $^{48}\mathrm{Ca}+^{232}\mathrm{Th}$, ${}^{238}\mathrm{U}$, ${}^{244}\mathrm{Pu}$, and ${}^{248}\mathrm{Cm}$ at energies near the Coulomb barrier have been measured using the double-arm time-of-flight spectrometer CORSET at the U-400 cyclotron…

Fusion suppression in mass-asymmetric reactions leading to Ra compound nuclei

Near-barrier excitation functions have been measured for evaporation-residue production and fission in the 12C + 204,206,208Pb and 48Ca + 168,170Er systems that lead to the compound nuclei 216,218,220Ra*. A Pronounced suppression of evaporation-residue production is observed for the more symmetric combinations, 48Ca + 168,170Er. We relate this to the significant quasifission components already observed for these systems.
