Nuclear Potential and Fusion Cross Sections for Synthesizing Super-Heavy Elements in Di-nuclear Systems

A double folding method with simplified Skyrme-type nucleon--nucleon interaction is used to calculate the nuclear interaction potential between two nuclei. The calculation is performed in tip-to-tip orientation of the two nuclei if they are deformed. Based on this method, the potential energy surfaces, the fusion probabilities and the evaporation residue cross sections for some cold fusion reactions leading to super-heavy elements within di-nuclear system model are evaluated. It is indicated that after the improvement, the exponential decreasing systematics of the fusion probability with increasing charge number of projectile on the Pb based target become better and the
evaporation residue cross sections are in better agreement with the
experimental data.
