Abstract
The fusion cross section for + has been measured at four excitation energies in of MeV in order to study possible compound nucleus limitation effects on fusion for light heavy-ion systems at intermediate excitation energies. Comparing this data with other measurements for different entrance channels populating the same compound nucleus it is found that for MeV all fusion bands in the plane of appear to be parallel and displaced by the corresponding differences in separation energies, and that for MeV the bands tend to converge indicating a possible compound nucleus limitation effect. The data are compared with existing models for entrance channel and statistical yrast line limitations.
