Transfer cross sections at near-barrier energy for the 24Mg + 90,92Zr systems
We have tested the hypothesis that for systems 24Mg + 90,92Zr, the shape of the barrier height distribution is not influenced by transfers processes. The experiment was performed using the ICARE detector system at the Warsaw Cyclotron. Having measured the transfer cross sections of the near-barrier collisions of 24Mg + 90,92Zr, we have found them to be roughly half of the value obtained for the 20Ne + 90,92Zr systems. From that observation, we conclude that in the 24Mg + 90,92Zr case, the leading cause of washing out the barrier distribution structure is the partial dissipation of relative kinetic energy into the non-collective excitation of the system. peerReviewed
Multiphonon couplings in the sub-barrier fusion of 36S+140Ce
Fusion cross sections have been measured for the system 36S + 140Ce in the energy range encompassing the Coulomb barrier. A representation of the fusion barrier distribution has been obtained from the second energy derivative of the excitation function. The data are well described by coupled‐channels calculations including two‐phonon states of quadrupole and octupole character in the target (140Ce) and one octupole phonon in the projectile. The importance of 140Ce low‐lying inelastic excitations has been pointed out.
