Abstract

In the present work, the influence of the nuclear matter density on the DF potential and on the Coulomb barrier parameters is studied systematically for collisions of spherical nuclei. The value of the parameter B-z = Z(P)Z(T)/(A(P)(1/3) + A(T)(1/3)) (estimating the Coulomb barrier height) varies in these calculations from 10 MeV up to 150 MeV. We have introduced self-consistent relativistic mean field (RMF) density in the present analysis. For the nucleon-nucleon effective interaction, the M3Y forces with the finite range exchange term and density dependence are employed. The above barrier fusion cross sections are calculated within the framework of the trajectory model with surface friction. Results are compared with the previous study in which the nuclear density came from the Skyrme Hartree-Fock (HF) calculations and with the high precision experimental data. This comparison demonstrates that i) agreement between the theoretical and experimental cross sections obtained with RMF and HF densities is of the same quality and ii) the values of the only adjustable parameter (friction strength) obtained with RMF and HF densities strongly correlate with each other.
