Abstract

A simple dynamical model is shown to reproduce heavy-ion fusion excitation functions over a wide mass and energy range. The trajectory calculations employ the proximity nuclear potential and the proximity one-body nuclear friction. The importance of tangential friction in determining the magnitude and shape of the fusion excitation functions at higher energies is discussed.
