Fusion and Quasi-elastic scattering around the Coulomb barrier: determination of inter-nucleus potential
- Department of Physics, Tohoku University, Sendai 980-8578 (Japan)
We invert experimental data for heavy-ion fusion cross sections at energies well below the Coulomb barrier in order to directly determine the internucleus potential between the colliding nuclei. In contrast to the previous applications of the inversion formula, we explicitly take into account the effect of channel couplings on fusion reactions, by assuming that fusion cross sections at deep subbarrier energies are governed by the lowest barrier in the barrier distribution. The surface region of the internuclear potential is determined from quasi-elastic scattering at deep subbarrier energies, while the inner part is determined with the WKB formula. We apply this procedure to the {sup 16}O+{sup 144}Sm and {sup 16}O+{sup 208}Pb reactions, and find that the inverted internucleus potential are much thicker than phenomenological potentials.
