Consistent analysis of fusion data without adjustable parameters for systems involving odd nuclei

In a recent article, we calculated fusion cross sections for systems involving even-even nuclei based on a method that takes into account the couplings to a complete set of states for surface vibrations of the nuclear densities. The predictions were obtained without using any adjustable parameter, and are in good agreement with the experimental results for most of the systems, even at sub-barrier energies. In the present work, we extend these calculations to systems involving nuclei with odd number of protons and/or of neutrons
