Abstract

The effects on the /sup 58/Ni+/sup 64/Ni fusion cross section due to the coupling of the entrance channel to inelastic and transfer channels with positive Q value are calculated, making use of macroscopic form factors for both processes. It is found that the effective lowering of the barrier amounts to approx.8 MeV, consistent with recent experimental data. About 35% of this magnitude results from the positive Q-value transfer couplings.
