Abstract.

Measurements of fusion-evaporation cross-sections for the system 48Ca + 154Sm have been performed in the sub- and near-barrier energy range. Barrier-passing cross-sections have been obtained by adding recently measured capture-fission cross-sections at the same energies, and the barrier distribution for capture has been extracted. The data have been analyzed within a coupled-channel model, and a large subbarrier cross-section enhancement is observed, due to the ground-state prolate deformation of 154Sm. The 48Ca + 154Sm capture cross-sections are compared to existing data on 16O + 186W fusion, leading to the same CN, where a few higher-energy points have also been measured. The evaporation residue cross-sections for the two systems above the barrier indicate that complete fusion is inhibited for 48Ca + 154Sm by ≈ 40% in that energy region, with respect to 16O + 186W.
