Abstract

The cross sections of elastic scattering and fusion of identical heavy ions with arbitrary spin, s are derived. Applications to several light heavy ions at near-barrier energies are made. It is found that the transverse isotropy; namely, the flat angular distribution which sets in at a critical value of the energy, becomes less pronounced with higher values of the spin. The oscillations in energy in the fusion cross section was found to go as 1/(2s+1). A similar factor is found in the angle-oscillating term in the elastic-scattering cross section.
