Fusion cross sections were measured spanning the barrier region for the systems {sup 40}Ca + {sup 192}Os and {sup 40}Ca + {sup 194}Pt. The excitation function is then multiplied by E and differentiated twice with respect to energy to yield the distribution of barriers associated with fusion for each system. The resulting distributions are compared with the characteristic shapes expected to result from the prolate/oblate quadrupole deformity of the targets. Spherical {sup 40}Ca was chosen to minimize the effects due to the projectile while enhancing the barrier splitting due to the shape deformation of the targets.
