Description

The fusion-fission process in heavy systems is analyzed by the Smoluchowski equation with the finite-range droplet model potential of no pocket and the temperature-dependent shell correction energy which generates the pocket around the spherical shape. The evaporation residue cross sections of superheavy elements have been shown to have an optimum value at a certain initial temperature, due to the balance between the diffusibility for fusion at high temperature and the restoration of the shell correction energy against fission at low temperature. copyright 1997 The American Physical Society
