Cross-sections for [Formula: see text]Ca + [Formula: see text] at low energies have been calculated from two different models and three different [Formula: see text]-nucleus potentials. The first model determines the cross-sections from the barrier transmission in a real nuclear potential. Second, cross-sections are derived within the optical model (OM) using a complex nuclear potential. The excitation functions from barrier transmission are smooth, whereas the excitation functions from the OM…
