Abstract

Evaporation residue and fission cross sections of radioactive 132Sn on 64Ni were measured. Statistical model calculations using parameters simultaneously fitting stable Sn+64Ni data reproduce the 132Sn induced reaction very well. A large sub-barrier fusion enhancement was observed. The enhancement can be accounted for by coupled-channels calculations including inelastic excitation of the projectile and target, and neutron transfer.
