We have studied the fusion of 11 Be with 209 Bi and 15 C with 232 Th in the energy region around the barrier within the framework of quantum diffusion approach and have found enhancement in fusion cross-section in deep sub-barrier region and a very minor suppression in the above barrier energy region with respect to the corresponding experimental observations. The fusion cross-section is found to be slightly increased for reactions involving 11 Be and 15 C nuclei in comparison to those involving the stable 10 Be and 12 C isotopes, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
