Abstract
Fusion cross section for reactions induced by weakly bound nuclei 6He, 6,7Li 9,11Be and 10B on targets lying in the mass region 64 ≤ A ≤ 238 have been investigated at around Coulomb barrier energies within the coupled channel formalism. Specifically, the effects of coupling to low-lying excited states of reactants and those arises due to the breakup of projectile have been studied by using Broglia and Winther (BW91), Aage Winther (AW95) and fitted potential (FP) parameterization schemes. Among these the FP scheme is found to be most appropriate in the description of fusion excitation functions of various projectile-target combination. Further, it is observed that in the sub barrier energy region there is an enhancement in the fusion cross section due to coupling to excited states while there occurs fusion suppression at above barrier energies because of the breakup of the projectile.
