It was shown that fusion with all the heavier projectiles is severely inhibited, and thus quasifission does compete with fusion at low ℓ values.Keywords: Electron energy levels; Electron scattering; Kinetic energy; Nuclear physics; Potential energy; Probability; Compound nucleus; Coulomb repulsion; Evaporation residue; Quasifission; Fusion reactions20022015-12-11
