We studied the competition between fusion and quasifission by populating the compound nucleus (CN) 210Rn through different entrance channels - 16O+194Pt and 30Si+180Hf, at energies around the Coulomb barrier. The larger widths of the fission fragment mass distribution in the 30Si+180Hf reaction which could not be explained by using transition state models, indicated the onset of quasifission in this reaction. Further, the evaporation residues (ERs) produced in these reactions were measured using the gas-filled recoil mass separator HYRA at IUAC. The measurements showed reduced ER cross sections for the 30Si+180Hf reaction when compared with that of 16O+194Pt at similar excitation energies, confirming the presence of quasifission in the 30Si+180Hf reaction. The experimental results are analysed using the dinuclear system (DNS) and statistical models to understand the possible influence of potential energy surfaces (PES) and different entrance channel conditions in heavy ion fusion reactions.

Abstract
We studied the competition between fusion and quasifission by populating the compound nucleus (CN) 210Rn through different entrance channels - 16O+194Pt and 30Si+180Hf, at energies around the Coulomb barrier. The larger widths of the fission fragment mass distribution in the 30Si+180Hf reaction which could not be explained by using transition state models, indicated the onset of quasifission in this reaction. Further, the evaporation residues (ERs) produced in these reactions were measured using the gas-filled recoil mass separator HYRA at IUAC. The measurements showed reduced ER cross sections for the 30Si+180Hf reaction when compared with that of 16O+194Pt at similar excitation energies, confirming the presence of quasifission in the 30Si+180Hf reaction. The experimental results are analysed using the dinuclear system (DNS) and statistical models to understand the possible influence of potential energy surfaces (PES) and different entrance channel conditions in heavy ion fusion reactions.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
