Abstract
We have measured the capture-fission excitation functions for the reaction of stable and radioactive with using the ReA3 facility at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. In addition the capture-fission excitation function for the reaction was measured at Australian National University . The capture cross sections for the reaction are larger than those for the induced reactions in the near barrier region although the reduced excitation functions for the two reactions do not indicate any fundamental differences between the reactions. The results of the measurements are compared to modern phenomenological models and microscopic time-dependent Hartree-Fock calculations. The implications of these measurements for the synthesis of heavy nuclei at radioactive beam facilities are discussed.
