Phys. Rev. Lett. 76, 1587–1590 (1996)Experimental Fusion Barrier Distributions Reflecting Projectile Octupole State Coupling to Prolate and Oblate Target NucleiReceived 21 September 1995; published in the issue dated 4 March 1996 Fusion excitation functions have been measured spanning the entire barrier region in 1 MeV energy steps for the two systems 40Ca+192Os,194Pt. Precautions were taken to ensure sufficiently small errors to allow for extraction of the distribution of fusion barriers from the second differential of the product of E and σ. These results are compared with coupled channel calculations which take into account the most important degrees of freedom of both projectile and target. The influence of the prolate deformation of 192Os and the oblate deformation of 192Pt as well as the octupole vibration of 40Ca is apparent. © 1996 The American Physical Society URL:
