Abstract: An attempt has been made very recently to perform a scattering experiment on 10,11B+40Ca systems at the energy of 50 MeV at General Purpose Scattering Chamber (GPSC) of Inter-University Accelerator Centre (IUAC), New Delhi, India. A comprehensive analysis of the elastic scattering data is carried out using different versions of optical potentials, such as the Woods-Saxon (WS) potential, the M3Y-Paris double-folding (DF) potential and the semi-microscopic Sao Paulo potential (SPP2). We have arrived at a new set of optical model (OM) parameters which are compared with the data obtained by Glover et al. (1980) at 46.6 MeV and 51.5 MeV. There is substantial change in the real and imaginary potential strengths when analyzed using WS potential. Both the systems exhibited absorption and showed structural differences between 10B and 11B, with the former having a deeper real potential and a more confined interaction region. With a combination M3Y-Paris (real) and WS Volume (imaginary) potential, experimental cross-sections are reproduced which also reveals the extended structure of 11B. SPP2 potential provides significant information on reaction dynamics providing larger proton and neutron radii of 11B as compared to 10B. Finally, We extracted a new set of consistent OM parameters that is applicable in understanding the reaction dynamics of light-heavy ion interactions.

Abstract: Fission fragment mass distribution has been studied for the reaction 30Si+176Yb populating the compound nucleus 206Po at near-barrier energies to understand the effects of entrance channel mass asymmetry and deformation in the pre-actinide region. No appreciable deviation from a single Gaussian fit to the experimental mass distribution shows a nearly symmetric mass split for the composite system at the present experimental energy range. The experimentally measured fission fragments mass variance for 30Si+176Yb has been compared with the more asymmetric reaction 12C+194Pt having mass asymmetry lying on either side of the αBG value. The statistical saddle point model (SSPM) calculations based on compound nucleus fission for the two reactions indicate the presence of quasifission in the 30Si+176Yb reaction. Moreover, the higher variance of mass distribution near and below barrier energies shows the effect of deformation of the projectile and target on quasifission. The experimental data are also compared with the fission of nearby systems. The present result is consistent with the earlier findings of evaporation residue (ER) cross section for the reaction 30Si+176Yb, where suppression in the ER cross section is attributed to non-compound nucleus fission and its dependance on entrance channel properties.
