Abstract

Excitation functions for the yields of nineteen residual nuclei from the ¹⁴N + ¹⁰B reaction have been measured over the range E_c.m.=8.00-25.75 MeV in steps of 250 keV with γ-ray techniques. The magnitude and energy dependence of the excitation functions for the partial yields are very different from those of the ¹²C + ¹²C system. The total fusion cross section appears to saturate at an energy and a magnitude which are lower than expected from previous systematics. Small, regular fluctuations can be seen in the fusion cross section, one of which is very narrow. However, the structure observed by L'Ecuyer et al. was not seen in this work.
