The heavier <sup>23</sup>Na system is identified as a saturated state, residing on a geometric plateau where the resonance energy becomes insensitive to the interaction strength; our calculated value of 2.11 MeV aligns remarkably well with the experimental level of 2.08 MeV. In contrast, the lighter <sup>7</sup>Li and <sup>14</sup>N systems emerge as threshold states in a weak-coupling window, where the resonance energy is highly sensitive to the potential parameters and is sustained near the continuum edge. In this regime, our model yields energies of 0.489 MeV and 1.067 MeV, closely reproducing the experimental benchmarks of 0.441 MeV and 1.058 MeV, respectively. We demonstrate that these threshold states are characterized by a significant enhancement of the resonant cross-section, driven by the inverse relationship between the tunneling width and the spectral density peak.

In many systems, sub-barrier fusion cross-sections are enhanced by couplings to inelastic excited states and nucleon transfer channels with positive Q-values. However, several systems show no such effect from positive Q-value transfer channels. Conventional coupled channel approaches effectively handle even-even systems, but for odd-even systems, odd-A nuclei are often approximated as pure rotors or vibrators, assuming ground state spin-parity and neglecting spin reorientation effects. Furthermore, single nucleon transfer is not included in codes like CCFULL, which only account for ground-state pair transfers without considering transfers involving excited states. To address these limitations, the quantum mechanical coupled reaction channel (CRC) code FRESCO is employed. For the <sup>19</sup>F + <sup>68</sup>Zn system, experimental data are explained by including couplings to inelastic states of both projectile and target. However, for <sup>19</sup>F + <sup>54,56</sup>Fe, <sup>64</sup>Zn and <sup>142,150</sup>Nd systems, inelastic couplings alone fail to reproduce fusion excitation functions (EFs). Couplings to one-proton (pickup) or triton (stripping) transfer channels with positive Q-values show no significant effect on sub-barrier fusion cross-sections. Overall, CRC calculations indicate that coupling to inelastic states of both projectile and target enhance sub-barrier fusion cross-sections. The treatment of the projectile/target nuclei based on certain assumptions has resulted in different sub-barrier fusion cross-sections in earlier studies. The current study suggests that channel coupling effects on fusion excitation function is a complex process in interaction with odd-A projectile and one needs to include exact spin-parity of odd-A nuclei in theoretical calculations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19246,"journal":{"name":"Nuclear Physics A","volume":"1067 ","pages":"Article 123313"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145883367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
