Abstract

Strong coupling to direct reaction channels causes the fusion excitation function close to the Coulomb barrier to behave very differently from that due to a simple potential barrier. The average compound nucleus angular momentum 〈itl > 〉 is also strongly affected. It is shown how to obtain 〈 l〉 from a fusion excitation function using a model whose only parameter is the diffuseness of the nuclear potential.
