PROBING THE EQUATION OF STATE BY DEEP SUB-BARRIER FUSION REACTIONS

In the framework of Skyrme energy-density functional approach together with the extended semi-classical Thomas-Fermi method, the nuclear equation of state (EOS) is investigated using the nucleus-nucleus potential. The potentials of ⁵⁸Ni+⁵⁸Ni and ³²S+⁸⁹Y are studied in the point of view that the energy at touching point is equal to the threshold energy for hindrance. It is found that MSK3-MSK5, V110 are suitable Skyrme parameters sets and the incompressibility values are in the range of K = 231-234 MeV.
