Abstract

Evaporation residue cross sections for 124,126 ,127,128Sn+64Ni and 132Sn+58Ni have been measured to study the effects of neutron excess in neutron-rich radioactive nuclei on the fusion probability. A comparison of the reduced evaporation residue cross sections for 126Sn+64Ni and 132Sn+58Ni, which make the same compound nucleus, shows that the fusion probability is indistinguishable for reactions involving the same atomic elements, Sn and Ni, but different isotope combinations. For the reactions with 64Ni, the fusion probability does not decrease with increasing neutron excess in Sn, contrary to the result of the stable beam Sn+Zr measurement.
