Experimental investigation of fusion of {sup 7}Li+{sup 28}Si above the Coulomb barrier

Excitation functions for the above-barrier fusion cross sections are measured for the first time for the {sup 7}Li+{sup 28}Si system by two methods--the characteristic {gamma}-ray method and the evaporation {alpha} measurement method--in the energy range E{sub lab}=11.5-26 MeV. Experimental results are consistent and agree with each other, and the one-dimensional Barrier Penetration Model (BPM) predictions describe the data well up to twice the Coulomb barrier, but they overestimate the data by about 15-20% at higher energies.
