Near- and sub-barrier fusion of various Ca + Zr isotopic combinations have been widely investigated. A recent analysis of 40Ca + 96Zr data has highlighted the importance of couplings to multiphonon excitations and to both neutron and proton transfer channels. Analogous studies of 40Ca + 90Zr tend to exclude any role of transfer couplings. However, the lowest measured cross section for this system is rather high (840μb). Here, a rather complete data set is available for 40Ca + 94Zr, while no measurement of 40Ca + 92Zr fusion has been performed in the past.
