Fusion of /sup 28/Si+/sup 28/Si

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
The energy dependence of the fusion cross section for /sup 28/Si+/sup 28/Si has been studied over the bombarding energy range 80--140 MeV. The gross features of these cross sections are compared with the expectations of entrance channel models and with the results of time-dependent Hartree Fock calculations. A comparison with similar data for the /sup 32/S+/sup 24/Mg and /sup 16/O+/sup 40/Ca systems gives results which are not inconsistent with a compound nucleus limitation to fusion at high energies. A search for fusion oscillations similar to those found in lighter systems provides some evidence for their occurrence in the /sup 28/Si+/sup 28/Si system.
