Fusion cross section of 12C+13C at sub-barrier energies

In the recent work at Notre Dame, correlations between three carbon isotope fusion systems have been studied and it is found that the fusion cross sections of 12C+13Cand 13C+13C provide an upper limit on the fusion cross section of the astrophysically important 12C+12C reaction.The aim of this work...

Summary:In the recent work at Notre Dame, correlations between three carbon isotope fusion systems have been studied and it is found that the fusion cross sections of 12C+13Cand 13C+13C provide an upper limit on the fusion cross section of the astrophysically important 12C+12C reaction.The aim of this work is to continue such research by measuring the fusion cross section of the 12C+13C reaction to lower energies. In this experiment, the off-line activity measurement was performed in the ultra-low background laboratory 12C+13C and the fusion cross section for has been determined in the energy range of Ec.m. =2.5–6.8 MeV. Comparison between this work and several models is also presented.
