Excitation functions for one- and two-nucleon transfer in {sup 28}Si + {sup 68}Zn system have been measured at energies below the Coulomb barrier. The experiment was carried out by detecting the forward recoiling targetlike nuclei using the recoil mass separator, HIRA. With a pulsed beam, the time-of-flight of the recoils was measured and used to resolve the M/q ambiguity. This enabled the determination of the two-nucleon transfer yields. The role of one- and two-nucleon transfer in the sub-barrier fusion cross-section enhancement has been investigated. It turns out that the coupling of the positive Q-value two-neutron transfer channel results in a significant contribution to the enhancement. Coupling to both the transfer and the inelastic channels is able to explain the observed enhancement. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
