Abstract
A comprehensive study on the coupling strength was conducted using the barrier distribution derived from fusion and quasi-elastic measurements. A brief overview of the extraction of the quasi-elastic scattering barrier distribution is provided by presenting quasi-elastic measurements conducted for the 16O+165Ho system. A model-independent technique was used to examine data from various systems published in the literature to relate the different observables obtained from the barrier distribution. The systematic analysis shows the collective behavior of the interacting ions and correlates the structure with the barrier distribution. A comparison of the experimentally determined cumulative coupling strengths for various systems (different projectiles on the same target) revealed that, in addition to the Coulomb factor ZPZT is significant. The barrier distribution proved to be a suitable tool for investigating the structural characteristics of interacting ions.
