Nucleus-nucleus potential (left) and barrier distribution (right) for 40Ca + 144Sm. In contrast to light particle induced fusion reactions, the realistic nucleus-nucleus potential is different from that based on frozen density approximation due to the dynamical effect in fusion process induced by heavy nuclei. A distribution of the barrier heights rather than a unique value is therefore introduced in the calculation of the capture cross sections for a better description of the cross sections.
