Measurements of complete and incomplete fusion cross sections for 6 Li+ 154 Sm have been performed at energies above the Coulomb barrier by the online γ -ray method, to investigate the effect of breakup and inelastic couplings on the complete fusion (CF) of this weakly bound system. We show that inelastic excitation couplings have non-negligible effects, when compared with the breakup effect, for deformed nuclei at energies very close to the Coulomb barrier. The average CF suppression corresponding to dynamic breakup effects was found to be around 35%. The total fusion cross section is not affected by the breakup coupling. A comparison between the 6 Li-induced CF suppression for three different samarium isotopes shows that the breakup effect is larger for the more spherical isotope.

The measurements of complete fusion cross sections for 6Li + 96Zr have been performed at energies around the Coulomb barrier by the online y-ray method. The complete fusion cross sections at above-barrier energies were found to be suppressed by ~25% . A comparison of the systematics of complete fusion suppression with the existing data for 6L i+ heavy targets with the present results shows that the systematics of the suppression factor observed for 6Li-induced fusion in the heavy mass region may not be consistent in lighter target mass region.
