Title: Capture cross sections for the near symmetric {sup 124}Sn+{sup 96}Zr reaction

Abstract

Capture-fission cross sections were measured for the near symmetric reaction between the massive nuclei {sup 124}Sn and {sup 96}Zr for center of mass energies from 195 to 265 MeV. Coincident fission fragments were detected and separated from elastic and deep inelastic scattering products by angle/energy/mass conditions. The measured capture cross sections agree quite well with calculations using the dinuclear system (DNS) model. The DNS model also predicts the fusion cross section for this reaction with a fusion barrier height of 208.0 MeV. The deduced extra push energy, corresponding to this barrier height, differs from that deduced from evaporation residue measurements.
