Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring barriers to fusion
TL;DR: In this paper, a quantitative understanding of the entrance-channel effects induced by target and projectile structure has emerged, based on recent high-precision measurements of fusion excitation functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Barrier distributions from the fusion of oxygen ions with Sm 1 4 4 , 1 4 8 , 1 5 4 and W 186

TL;DR: In this representation it is clearly seen that the excitation functions are not smooth and featureless; each is unique and is shown to depend on the details of the structure of the interacting nuclei.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of breakup on the fusion of Li 6 , Li 7 , and Be 9 with heavy nuclei

TL;DR: In this paper, high precision complete and incomplete fusion cross sections have been measured for the $6}\mathrm{Li}+^{209}\mathm{Bi}, $7]-mathrm[Li+^{ 209]-mathm[Bi], and $9]-mathmm{Be}+''208]-Pb reactions, at energies near and below the Coulomb barrier.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fusion versus breakup: Observation of large fusion suppression for 9Be+208Pb
Mahananda Dasgupta,David Hinde,Rachel D Butt,R Anjos,Annette Berriman,N. Carlin,P. R. S. Gomes,Clyde Morton,John Newton,A. Szanto de Toledo,Kouichi Hagino +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the experimental fusion barrier distribution extracted from these data allows reliable prediction of the expected complete fusion cross sections, but the measured cross sections are only 68% of those predicted, which supports the interpretation that this suppression of fusion is caused by incomplete fusion products breaking up into charged fragments before reaching the fusion barrier.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conclusive evidence for the influence of nuclear orientation on quasifission.
TL;DR: Fission fragment anisotropies and mass distributions have been measured to high accuracy, over a wide range of angles, for the full momentum transfer fission reaction as mentioned in this paper, where the bombarding energies spanned the fusion barrier distribution, in steps of 1 MeV.
