Effect of projectile breakup in the system 19F + 154Sm
An attempt was made to understand the role of various entrance channel parameters on incomplete fusion dynamics by the measurements of excitation functions of evaporation residues populated via complete and incomplete fusion dynamics in the system 19F + 154Sm at projectile energy ≈ 4-6 MeV/A. The stacked foil activation technique followed by offline gamma ray spectrometry was employed in these measurements. The measured excitation functions of various evaporation residues populated have been analyzed within the framework of statistical model code PACE-4. It has been observed that the measured excitation functions of xn and pxn emission channels agree well with the theoretical predictions of PACE-4. On the other hand, the measured excitation functions of α-emission channels have been found significantly enhanced over their theoretical predictions. This enhancement may be attributed to the incomplete fusion of the projectile 19F as the calculations for incomplete fusion are not included in statistical model calculations. The incomplete fusion fraction has been deduced from the present measurements. Further, a systematic study has also been performed, which shows that the incomplete fusion increases significantly with entrance channel mass asymmetry at low projectile energy, differently for different projectiles

Quasi-elastic scattering measurements of the 28Si + 142Nd system at back-angle
The barrier distribution of a system can be extracted from excitation function data obtained either through fusion reaction or through quasi-elastic scattering measurement. In the present work, the quasi-elastic excitation function has precisely been measured at back angle for the 28Si + 142Nd system at energies around the Coulomb barrier and the corresponding experimental barrier distribution has been extracted. The experimental data has been interpreted in the frame work of the coupled channel calculations which include couplings to different possible modes of excitations of the interacting target-projectile combination. The possible effect of the nature of projectile excitations on the derived barrier distribution has been presented

Theoretical aspect of the deformation effect on fusion cross-sections induced by heavy ion systems 16,18O + 58Ni and 112Sn
590-595Applying twelve different versions of nuclear potentials, the influence of static quadrupole and hexadecapole deformation of targets and its orientations on the fusion cross section have been studied. The barrier parameters for the reactions 16O + 58Ni, 16O + 112Sn and 18O + 112Sn have been estimated from the variations of total interaction potential with the inter-nuclear separation which is then used to determine the fusion cross section for the systems through Wong’s formula. It has been found that the nucleus-nucleus potential strongly depends on the deformation parameters and orientation of the target. The experimental fusion cross-section of these reactions (wherever available) have been investigated by applying Wong’s formula along with the results of a one-dimensional barrier penetration model using coupled – channel (CCFULL) code. The fusion cross-sections by Prox 10, Prox 88, Prox 00, Prox 00 DP, CW 76, Ngô 80 and AW 95 potentials have been found out to be in better agreement towards the experimental data
