Theoretical calculations for the capture cross section of the formation of heavy and superheavy nuclei

Capture cross section of formation heavy nuclei and superheavy nuclei with charge number Z = 84-118 are systematically studied based on an empirical coupled-channel model, in which different barrier distribution functions are constructed according to the different coupling modes between target and projectile. The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental data for most of reaction systems. The reason for the difference between the theoretical results and the experimental values have been analyzed.
