Fusion measurements in light and medium mass heavy-ion reactions. Progress report, June 1, 1980-May 31, 1981
The data obtained for fusion residues from the /sup 16/ /sup 18/O + /sup 24/ /sup 26/Mg systems have been analyzed and are being compared to each other and to predictions from the fusion-evaporation code CASCADE. Analysis of data obtained for a small step excitation curve for the /sup 16/O + /sup 24/Mg system has been started to determine the possible presence of structure in the fusion cross section. Additional data for the fusion cross sections of these systems have been obtained at energies from 100 to 140 MeV at the ATLAS facility and are being analyzed. Initial measurements of the fusion-fission cross sections for /sup 58/Ni beams, at energies up to 320 MeV on targets from /sup 116/Sn to /sup 170/Yb have been made. Analysis is in progress and additional experiments are planned. A collaboration is planned at Notre Dame for experiments to determine the entry line for fusion in the /sup 12/C + /sup 16/O system, both for the interest in this system and for preparation for additional experiments at higher energies at Michigan State when the new facility there becomes available. These experiments should lead to information about the importance of incomplete fusion in this system. Experiments to test the limitation on fusion cross sections predicted by the rotating liquid drop model are planned as higher energies become available at ATLAS and MSU.
