“…Therefore, it can be safely inferred that the Q α is a rather more suitable parameter than binding energy to explain ICF data. In order to strengthen the above systematics, the values of F ICF for 12 C, 13 C, 16 O+ 159 Tb [44,53,73] and 12 C, 13 C, 16 O+ 181 Ta [46,49] systems have been compared in Figs. 8(a) and 8(b) as a functions of Q α at the same value of of v rel .…”
