Abstract
The fusion cross section for the 16O + 16O reaction has been measured with a time-of-flight technique at energies E lab = 35, 45, 52, 60, 70 and 80 MeV. Excitation functions for the total fusion and for the individual evaporation residues have been deduced from one-angle measurements of mass yields as a function of energy by normalizing to the energies given above. The 16O + 12C reaction has been studied by the same method at energies of 45, 52, 70 and 80 MeV, and fusion cross sections and mass distributions are given. Small amplitude oscillations are observed in the fusion cross section for the 16O + 16O reaction and are explained as effects of the individual grazing angular momenta. The measured fusion cross section is compared with a TDHF calculation of this quantity. A possible low angular momentum cut for fusion as predicted by the TDHF calculation is examined.
