Effects of weakly coupled channels on quasielastic barrier distributions
2009
Heavy-ion collisions often produce fusion barrier distributions with structures displaying a fingerprint of couplings to highly collective excitations. Similar distributions can be obtained from large-angle quasielastic scattering, although in this case, the role of the many weak direct-reaction channels is unclear. For $^{20}\mathrm{Ne}+^{90}\mathrm{Zr}$, we have observed the barrier structures expected for the highly deformed neon projectile; however, for $^{20}\mathrm{Ne}+^{92}\mathrm{Zr}$, we find significant extra absorption into a large number of noncollective inelastic channels. This leads to smearing of the barrier distribution and a consequent reduction in the ``resolving power'' o…
Weak channels in backscattering of20Ne onnatNi,118Sn, and208Pb
2012
To further our understanding of the influence of weakly coupled channels on the distribution of Coulomb barrier heights, we have measured transfer cross sections for ${}^{20}$Ne ions backscattered from ${}^{\mathrm{nat}}$Ni, ${}^{118}$Sn, and ${}^{208}$Pb targets at near-barrier energies. The $Q$ value spectrum in the case of ${}^{208}$Pb target has been determined too. The transfer channels appear to be especially important for ${}^{208}$Pb, whose double-closed-shell nature leads to a relatively low level density for noncollective inelastic excitations.
