Abstract

Fusion and fission reactions have been studied near the barrier for 58, 64Ni beams incident on all even Sn targets. Excitation functions have been measured over an energy range from well below to ≈1.4 times the fusion barrier. We discuss the sub-barrier fusion yields, the observed fission behavior in comparison to theoretical model predictions and the possible influences of compound-nucleus structure effects at these energies near the barrier.
