In this study, the presence of neutron transfer channels with positive Q values can enhance sub-barrier fusion cross sections. Recent measurements of the fusion excitation functions for ⁵⁸Ni+^132,124Sn found that the fusion enhancement due to the influence of neutron transfer is smaller than that in ⁴⁰Ca +^132,124Sn although the Q values for multineutron transfer are comparable. The purpose of this study is to investigate the differences observed between the fusion of Sn + Ni and Sn + Ca. Methods: Fusion excitation functions for ^46,50Ti +¹²⁴Sn have been measured at energies near the Coulomb barrier. As a result, a comparison of the barrier distributions for ⁴⁶Ti+¹²⁴Sn and ⁴⁰Ca+¹²⁴Sn shows that the ⁴⁰Ca+¹²⁴Sn system has a barrier strength resulting from the coupling to the very collective octupole state in ⁴⁰Ca at an energy significantly lower than the uncoupled barrier. In conclusion, the large sub-barrier fusion enhancement in ⁴⁰Ca induced reactions is attributed to both couplings to neutron transfer and inelastic excitation, with the octupole vibration of ⁴⁰Ca playing a major role.
