Derivation of capture cross sections from quasi-elastic excitation functions

“…In Figs. 1 and 2 one can see a good agreement between the extracted and directly measured capture cross sections for the reactions 16 8) and (10) is less than 5% at the highest energies. At low energies, Eqs.…”

“…The deformation effect is effectively contained in the experimental P qe . J cr = 58, 68, 74, and 76 for the reactions 16 For the reactions 16 O+ 154 Sm and 32 S+ 96 Zr, the extracted capture cross sections are shifted in energy by 1.7 and 1.9 MeV, respectively, with respect to the measured capture data. This could be the result of different energy calibrations in the experiments on the capture measurement and on the quasielastic scattering.…”

“…[3,4]. For the 16 O + 208 Pb reaction, the experimental capture (fusion) data are from Refs. [10] (open squares), [11] (open circles), [12] (closed stars), and [13] (closed triangles).…”
