Previously, it has been shown that in medium-heavy systems, the onset of fusion hindrance depends strongly on the “stiffness” of the nuclei in the entrance channel. In this work, we explore its dependence on the total mass and the Q-value of the fusing systems and find that the fusion hindrance depends in a systematic way on the entrance channel properties over a wide range of systems. © 2006 The American Physical Society URL:
