Fusion cross-sections using different nuclear proximity potentials and radii at low energy

Abstract

Fusion cross-sections using different nuclear proximity potentials and radii at low energy have been studied for 16O, 40Ca and 48Ca-induced reactions. The variations in the barrier height of interaction potential calculated by using nuclear proximity potential of Blocki et. al. (Prox77) proximity potential has been observed by using nuclear radii of Prox00 and Denisov DP within the Prox77. The respective changes in the fusion barrier heights have been further analyzed in terms of fusion crosssections using Wong formula. The theoretically calculated fusion cross-sections for 16O, 40Ca and 48Ca-induced reactions are compared with the corresponding experimental data.
