Fusion barrier characteristics of actinides

Abstract

We have studied fusion barrier characteristics of actinide compound nuclei with atomic number range 89≤Z≤103 for all projectile target combinations. After the calculation of fusion barrier heights and positions, we have searched for their parameterization. We have achieved the empirical formula for fusion barrier heights (VB), positions (RB), curvature of the inverted parabola (ħω) of actinide compound nuclei with atomic number range 89≤Z≤103 for all projectile target combinations (6<A1<127, 101<A2<260, 3<Z1<51 and 45<Z2<100). This formula is obtained by studying the fusion barrier characteristics of 7205 projectile target combinations. The values produced by the present formula are also compared with experiments. The present pocket formula produces fusion barrier characteristics of actinides with the simple inputs of mass number (A) and atomic number (Z) of projectile-targets.
