Summary
Level density limitation to fusion is analysed from a phenomenological point of view. We find that the values EMax c.m. at which the fusion cross-rection exhibits the maxima correspond to a nuclear temperature almost independent of the reaction.
It is suggested that the interplay between entrance-channel effects and compound-nucleus properties are responsible for the observed behaviour.
