Abstract

Cross sections for the production of 154 nuclides were measured radiochemically in the reaction of (near-barrier) 600-MeV132 Xe ions with a natural Fe target, and the mass-yield curve was constructed. No evidence for significant subbarrier fusion was observed. Coalescence Model calculations were found to be in good agreement with the fusion yields from this and higher-energy experiments, while other model predictions were not, indicating that the Swiatecki “extra push” for fusion processes occurs as predicted. Moreover, this result supports the model implication that systems with similar effective fissilities are dynamically equivalent.
