# Sub-barrier fusion of $^{40}$Ca+$^{94}$Zr: Interplay of phonon and transfer couplings

Abstract : A precise fusion excitation function has been measured for $^{40}$Ca+$^{94}$Zr at near- and sub-barrier energies, and the fusion barrier distribution has been extracted. Comparing with the existing data for $^{40,48}$Ca+$^{90,96}$Zr shows that couplings to inelastic excitations determine the fusion cross sections and the shape of the barrier distributions near the barrier. At lower energies, the two systems possessing neutron-transfer channels with large positive Q-values ($^{40}$Ca+$^{94,96}$Zr) have remarkably similar cross sections, and both show a large enhancement with respect to the other systems and to coupled-channels calculations including up to three quadrupole and octupole phonons in the Zr targets.
