Motivation
We have recently conducted measurements on quasi-elastic scattering using 16,18O projectiles directed at 90Zr nuclei at energies near the Coulomb barrier. Our findings
reveal notable discrepancies between the data obtained for 18O and 16O, suggesting a distinct involvement of di-neutron transfer in the fusion process of 18O with 90Zr.
Specifically, the fusion barrier distribution for 18O+90Zr exhibits a skew towards lower barrier heights, contrasting sharply with the nearly Gaussian distribution observed in the case of 16O+90Zr reactions. This discrepancy implies that 16O behaves like an inert nucleus during fusion processes.
