Effects of nuclear breakup on 6Li+64Zn fusion reaction around barrier energies

Abstract

We have studied the effect of breakup of weakly bound projectile on fusion reactions involving intermediate mass target within the framework of dynamic polarization potential approach. The sub barrier enhancement and the above barrier suppression have been found which significantly improves the matching between the fusion excitation function data and calculations for ⁶Li+⁶⁴Zn system.
