Title: Fusion of /sup 58,60,62/Ni with 113 --170 MeV /sup 40/Ca ions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)

Results of measurements of the fusion excitation functions of /sup 58,60,62/Ni targets with 113 --170 MeV (lab) /sup 40/Ca ions are reported. These results are used to extract fusion barrier heights and radii by several different methods. Subbarrier fusion cross sections are analyzed in terms of static deformations. Possible importance of dynamic deformation is discussed. Conclusions as to the role of static deformation are similar to those from the /sup 35/Cl+/sup 58,60,62/Ni fusion system; a large part of the subbarrier behavior can be attributed to this cause.
