Analysis of complete, incomplete and total fusion data of 9Be +169Tm, 187Re, 209Bi reactions

Abstract

We have analyzed the incomplete fusion (ICF), complete fusion (CF) and total fusion (TF) excitation functions for reactions induced by [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] targets at near barrier energies using Wong’s formula in conjunction with the energy dependent Woods–Saxon potential. A phenomenological selection function is proposed to separate out the contribution of ICF and CF cross-sections in TF cross-section. The variation of relative contribution of ICF and CF in TF with respect to incident beam energy is very well reproduced through this approach.
