ISOSPIN DEPENDENCE OF REACTIONS 48Ca+243-251Bk

The fusion process of Ca-48 induced reactions is studied with the two-step model. In this model, the fusion process is devided into two stages: first, the sticking stage where projectile and target come to the touching point over the Coulomb barrier from infinite distance, and second, the formation stage where the di-nucleus formed with projectile and target evolve to form the spherical compound nucleus from the touching point. By the use of the statistical evaporation model, the residue cross sections for different neutron evaporation channels are analyzed. From the results, optimum reactions are given to synthesize Z = 117 element with Ca-48 induced reactions.
