Abstract

Evaporation residue cross-sections measured with short-lived ¹³²Sn on ⁶⁴Ni at energies near and below the Coulomb barrier were found to be enhanced as compared to those measured with stable Sn isotopes on ⁶⁴Ni. Subsequent measurements of fission following fusion of ¹³²Sn with ⁶⁴Ni and extending the measurement of evaporation residues to higher energies were carried out.
