Effects of mutual excitations in the fusion of carbon isotopes
Effects of mutual excitations in the fusion of carbon isotopes
Fusion data for ${}^{13}$C+${}^{13}$C, ${}^{12}$C+${}^{13}$C, and ${}^{12}$C+${}^{12}$C are analyzed by coupled-channels calculations that are based on the M3Y+repulsion, double-folding potential. The fusion is determined by ingoing-wave-boundary conditions (IWBC) that are imposed at the minimum of the pocket in the entrance channel potential. Quadrupole and octupole transitions to low-lying states in …
