- Abstract
The quasielastic barrier distribution of
51 V+248 Cm was extracted by measuring the excitation function of quasielastic backscattering using a gas-filled recoil ion separator, GARIS-III. The obtained barrier distribution is well explained by the coupled-channels calculation, indicating a significant effect of the rotational excitation of deformed248 Cm. From the measured average Coulomb barrier height and deformation parameters of248 Cm, the side-collision energy leading to a compact configuration of colliding nuclei was obtained. The relation between the side collision energy and the excitation function of the evaporation-residue cross sections in the48 Ca+248 Cm system was evaluated as a reference for the51 V+248 Cm case. The optimal reaction energy to synthesize a new element 119 at the51 V+248 Cm fusion reaction (3n and 4n channels) was estimated with an aid of these experimental data.
