Abstract

A unified approach is used to describe quasielastic and fusion processes in heavy-ion reactions at near barrier energies. The spin distributions for fusion are used in conjunction with transition-state theory to calculate fission fragment angular distributions. Results for the reaction /sup 16/O+/sup 208/Pb show that when transfer contributions are small, satisfactory agreement with data is obtained. The role of fragment anisotropy as a useful probe of entrance channel effects at energies close to the barrier is pointed out.

Fusion, transfer, and elastic scattering at sub-barrier energies for /sup 16,18/O ions on /sup 208/Pb and /sup 15/N and /sup 16/O ions on /sup 209/Bi

Journal Article Vulgaris, E; Grodzins, L; Steadman, S; ... - Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

The fusion of the heavy asymmetric systems of /sup 16/O, /sup 18/O+ /sup 208/Pb and /sup 15/N, /sup 16/O+ /sup 209/Bi was studied at bombarding energies near and below the Coulomb barrier. The fusion-fission, transfer, and elastic angular distributions were measured for all four systems. The evaporation residue component of the fusion was measured for only the /sup 16/O+ /sup 208/Pb..-->.. /sup 224/Th reaction; in agreement with statistical model calculations, the cross section for the evaporation residues was found to be negligible compared to the fission, and hence can be ignored in all the systems.

Studies of heavy ion reactions around Coulomb barrier

Journal Article Zhang, H; Jia, H; Lin, C; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

The angular distributions of fission fragments for the {sup 32}S+{sup 184}W reaction near Coulomb barrier energies were measured. The experimental fission excitation function is obtained. The measured fission cross sections are decomposed into fusion-fission, quasifission and fast fission contributions by the dinuclear system model. The hindrance to complete fusion both at small and large collision energies is explained. The fusion excitation functions of {sup 32}S+{sup 90,96}Zr in an energy range from above to below Coulomb barrier were measured and analyzed. The obvious effect of positive Q-value neutron transfers has been observed in the {sup 32}S+{sup 96}Zr system. In addition, themore »« less

Investigation of the reaction {sup 208}Pb({sup 18}O, f): Fragment spins and phenomenological analysis of the angular anisotropy of fission fragments

Journal Article Adeev, G; Itkis, M; Karpov, A; ... - Physics of Atomic Nuclei

The average multiplicity of gamma rays emitted by fragments originating from the fission of {sup 226}Th nuclei formed via a complete fusion of {sup 18}O and {sup 208}Pb nuclei at laboratory energies of {sup 18}O projectile ions in the range E{sub lab} = 78-198.5 MeV is measured and analyzed. The total spins of fission fragments are found and used in an empirical analysis of the energy dependence of the anisotropy of these fragments under the assumption that their angular distributions are formed in the vicinity of the scission point. The average temperature of compound nuclei at the scission point andmore »« less

Fission probes of sub-barrier fusion cross section enhancements and spin distribution broadening

Journal Article Murakami, T; Sahm, C; Vandenbosch, R; ... - Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

The mean-square spin value of the compound nucleus /sup 248/Cf has been determined from fission fragment angular distributions for the /sup 12/C+ /sup 236/U and /sup 16/O+ /sup 232/Th reactions at sub-barrier bombarding energies. The anisotropy and hence the mean-square spin values are much larger than predicted by models which reproduce the cross section enhancement observed in the sub-barrier fusion excitation functions. A similar experiment with the spherical target /sup 208/Pb also leads to larger anisotropies and mean-square spin values than predicted by various fusion models, including an especially complete coupled channels calculation. Supplementary fragment-fragment coincidence experiments have been performedmore »« less

Heavy-ion optical potential for sub-barrier fusion deduced from a dispersion relation

Journal Article Kim, B; Kim, H; Park, K - Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

The heavy-ion energy-dependent optical potentials for the /sup 16/O+/sup 208/Pb system are deduced from a dispersion relation. These potentials are used to analyze the elastic scattering, fusion, and spin distributions of compound nuclei for the system in a unified way based on the direct reaction theory. It turns out that the energy dependence of the optical potential is essential in explaining the data at near- and sub-barrier energies. The real part of the energy-dependent optical potential deduced was also used in calculating the elastic and fusion cross sections by the conventional barrier penetration model using an incoming wave boundary condition.more »« less
