Abstract

We explain qualitatively the oscillations seen in the total fusion excitation function of 16O on 12C by using an optical model potential containing a parity dependence which accounts for elastic α-particle transfer. We show that it is possible to achieve this while simultaneously obtaining a reasonable fit to the elastic angular distributions. In particular the anomalous large angle scattering is consistent with the parity dependence required to fit the fusion oscillations.
