Abstract
Near-barrier fusion excitation functions for the and reactions have been analyzed in the framework of the barrier-passing model using different forms of the nuclear potential and the phenomenology of a fluctuating barrier. The best-fit fusion potentials were used to estimate cluster decay probabilities from the corresponding ground states of Ra and Th (i.e., for the inverse decay process). The analysis supports the “α-decay-like” scenario for carbon and oxygen emission from these nuclei.
