A systematic study of the fusion barriers using different proximity type potentials for $N = Z$ colliding nuclei : New extensions

By using 14 different versions and parametrizations of a proximity potential and two new versions of the potential proposed in this paper, we perform a comparative study of fusion barriers by studying 26 symmetric reactions. The mass asymmetry $η_{A}$ = $(\frac{A_{2}-A_{1}}{A_{2}+A_{1}}),$ however, is very large. Our detailed investigation reveals that most of the proximity potentials reproduce experimental data within $\pm$8% on the average. A comparison of fusion cross sections indicates that Bass 80, AW 95, and Denisov DP potentials have a better edge than other potentials. We also propose new versions of the proximity potential as well as Denisov parametrized potential. These new versions improve the agreement with the data.
