Impact of Hexadecapole Deformation on Fusion Cross Sections of Some Spherical + Deformed Systems in 3S-CMD Model
Abstract
The effect of quadrupole deformation (β2) on heavy ion fusion is a fact that is well recognized phenomenon. In addition to the influence of quadrupole deformation (β2), the potential impact of hexadecapole deformation (β4) on sub-barrier fusion has been a topic of frequent discussion. Recently, a theoretical analysis was performed to examine the impact of hexadecapole deformations (β4), employing the simplified coupled channels code CCFUS, which incorporates static deformations. In this study, we analyzes the effect of the β4 of the target nucleus on fusion cross sections within the framework of the 3S-CMD model. For this purpose, we have chosen the reactions 16O + 154Sm and 16O + 174Yb. The present research has calculated the fusion cross sections using the SBPM model as well. The calculated fusion cross sections using 3S-CMD model and SBPM are compared with each other as well as experiment.
