    Measurement of the fusion barrier distribution for the 86Kr + 208Pb reaction
    (2005) Ntshangase, Sifiso Senzo; Bark, R.A.
    The main object of this work is to investigate a method of determining the total capture cross-section without passing through separate measurements of quasi-fission, fusion-fission and evaporation residue, using the fact that the sum of the flux in the various final channels is equal to the total incident flux. Thus capture is complementary to the flux reflected from the barrier. Here we present an experiment performed at the cyclotron facility at iThemba LABS to determine the fusion barrier distribution for the ^Kr + 208po reaction using the method of measuring quasi-elastic scattering proposed by Dr. N. Rowley.
