Model analysis and comparison in symmetric and asymmetric reactions

In this work, we are presenting the results of model calculations for fusion cross-sections for the heavy-ion symmetric and asymmetric reaction using the standard nuclear reaction codes EMPIRE-3.2, PACE4 and CASCADE for ¹⁶O + ¹⁶O, ¹⁶O + ²⁷AI, ¹⁶O + ⁶⁴Zn from E_lab = 40 MeV to E_lab = 80 MeV. The fusion cross-section results from the models are compared with the experimental data taken from the NRV. The variation in fusion cross-section with variation in different parameters in the model is also studied. The results obtained from models are underestimating the fusion cross-section as compared to the experimental data at some parameters and one of the results has been shown herein. The effect of the level-density parameter on the fusion-cross-section in the model has also been studied and the results are compared with the experimental data
