Fusion excitation functions for [sup 144]Sm + [sup 16]O and [sup 17]O have been measured to high precision. The extracted fusion barrier distributions show a double-peaked structure which is interpreted in terms of coupling to inelastic excitations of the target. The effect of the neutron stripping channel is evident in the reaction with [sup 17]O. These barrier distributions show clearly the signatures of specific inelastic and transfer channels.
