Abstract

Background: A configuration is most suitable for the fusion if it corresponds to a minimum intrinsic fusion barrier and maximum fission barrier.Purpose: To find a suitable target-projectile combination from the isotopes of Ti and Nd by analyzing the intrinsic fusion and fission barriers theoretically by including the deformations up to hexadecapole order.Methods: The fragmentation theory has been used for the calculations. Results: The intrinsic fusion barrier is minimum and fission barrier is maximum for the targetprojectile combination: 43Ti+150Nd in belly-belly configuration, and the inclusion of deformation of higher order leads to the decrease of fission barrier for the prolate shaped cases and compactness for most of the cases.Conclusions: The most suitable target-projectile combination from the isotopes of Ti and Nd for the fusion is 43Ti+150Nd.
