The peculiar role of the strong 3` octupole vibration of 96 Zr is pointed out, in addition to the couplings to neutron transfer channels with positive Q-values. Recent data on 40 Ca + 124 Sn are also shown; for that system the fusion barrier distribution is wide without separated peaks, similar to the case of 40 Ca + 96 Zr. Simplified coupled-channel calculations have been performed, including surface vibrations and sequential neutron pick-up channels, with form factors that fit the single- and multi-nucleon transfer data for 40 Ca + 124 Sn. A good agreement with the data is found.8 pageshttp://www.ias.ac.in/pramana/PACTFORM.pdf "... the authors may use this work after publication ... in any or all of the following ways without seeking permission from the Academy provided that reference to the original publication in the concerned Academy journal is always made: ...
