Near- and sub-barrier fusion of /sup 58/Ni with /sup 58/Ni

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
Differential cross sections for evaporation residue formation following the complete fusion of /sup 58/Ni with 187.6 to 220 MeV /sup 58/Ni ions were measured with high precision using a velocity selector together with a counter telescope. The resulting cross sections for complete fusion ranged in magnitude from 50 ..mu..b at 93.3 MeV to 230 mb at 108.9 MeV (c.m.). The cross sections for complete fusion at sub-barrier energies were shown to be far greater than those predicted by standard barrier penetration models.
