Cr. Morton et al., CLEAR SIGNATURES OF SPECIFIC INELASTIC AND TRANSFER CHANNELS IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF FUSION BARRIERS, Physical review letters, 72(26), 1994, pp. 4074-4077
Fusion excitation functions for 144Sm + O-16 and O-17 have been measur
ed to high precision. The extracted fusion barrier distributions show
a double-peaked structure which is interpreted in terns of coupling to
inelastic excitations of the target. The effect of the neutron stripp
ing channel is evident in the reaction with O-17. These barrier distri
butions show clearly the signatures of specific inelastic and transfer
channels.
