Abstract
The decay dynamics of 197Tl* compound nucleus has been studied within the framework of the dynamical cluster-decay model (DCM) at above barrier energy Ec.m. ≈ 100 MeV using quadrupole deformed configuration of decay fragments. The influence of various nuclear radius parameters on the decay path and mass distributions has been investigated by analysing the fragmentation potential and preformation probability. It is observed that 197Tl* nucleus exhibits the triple-humped mass distribution, independent of nuclear radius choice. The most preferred fission fragments of both fission modes (symmetric and asymmetric) are identified, which lie in the neighborhood of spherical and deformed magic shell closures. Moreover, the modification in the barrier characteristics, such as interaction barrier and interaction radius, is observed with the variation in the radius parameter of decaying fragments and influences the penetrability and fission cross-sections. Finally, the fission cross-sections are calculated for considered choices of nuclear radii, and the results are compared with the available experimental data.

Summarizing, we have explored the decay dynamics of 197Tl* compound nucleus formed in 16O+181Ta reaction at energy much higher than Coulomb barrier such as Ec.m.≈100 MeV
Summary
The nuclear reactions provide useful probe to extract the much-needed information regarding nuclear dynamics. Many theoretical and experimental studies have been carried out to analyze the decay of various light and heavy mass compound nuclei at energies around the Coulomb barrier [1,2,3]. It is interesting to study a nuclear reaction dynamic at energy much above the Coulomb barrier. Nucleus formed in 16O + 181Ta reaction at Ec.m.=100.88 MeV [1], far above the Coulomb barrier, is carried out by using the dynamical cluster-decay model (DCM) [7,8,9,10]. The relative impact of different radius vector choices is studied on the compound nucleus decay path by analyzing the fragmentation potential.
