Investigation of Fusion Hindrance in the Decay of Pre-actinide 204Po84 Nuclear System

Abstract

In view of present day developments in the domain of theoretical nuclear physics, it is extremely important & essential to study the nuclear dynamics and related aspects at the extreme conditions of temperature, angular momentum, & energies in reference to recent advances in the field of experimental nuclear physics. One of the important aspects in this category is the fusion hindrance. Fusion hindrance in pre-actinide region is currently an active area of investigation as majority of nuclei in this mass region respond to this kind of mechanism. We have investigated the fusion hindrance in the decay of 204Po formed in 16O+188Os reaction using the Dynamical Cluster decay Model (DCM). We have calculated the evaporation residue and Fission cross section in reference to available experimental data. As expected investigated nuclear reaction does not lead to fusion hindrance at the selected range of incident energies.
