Influence of inelastic couplings on 32S + 24MG sub-barrier fusion

subject

description

Elastic, inelastic and mutual excitation angular distributions have been measured for 32S+ 24Mg at 65, 75, 56.3, 95 and 110 MeV of 32S incident energy. The data have been analysed by optical model and coupled channel calculations. Energy-dependent optical potentials have been obtained which have been used to describe the 32S + 24Mg fusion data of Berkowitz et al2). Barrier penetration and coupled channel models are compared. It is found that the energy-dependence of the empirical potentials is essential if a consistent simultaneous description of elastic, inelastic an fusion data is required.
