Fusion and peripheral processes in the 9Be + 10,11B reactions

Abstract Measurements of total fusion cross sections for 9 Be + 10,11 B have been performed over the energy range from 2 to 4.5 times the Coulomb barrier. Elastic scattering and peripheral processes have also been investigated. No significant inhibition of the maximum fusion cross section is observed in spite of the low binding energy of the collision participants.
