Popis: We develop a new technique to calculate fusion barrier heights of any fixed target reaction series. We calculate the barrier heights for the fusion reactions of 119 Sn and 197 Au targets using this technique. This technique is simple and very useful for estimating the fusion barrier heights for those reactions for which empirical values are not available. A formula is derived by performing theoretical calculations using different versions of proximity potential. Using this formula, we can predict the barrier height for the fusion reaction of any projectile with 119 Sn or 197 Au target using the empirical barrier height for the fusion reaction of same projectile with 62 Ni target. In order to check the accuracy of this technique, the fusion parameters calculated by this new technique are compared with the fusion parameters calculated by using parameterized formulae presented in a systematic study conducted by using double folding model. the colliding nuclei. The separation between the two col- liding nuclei is related to the internuclear distance between the centers of the colliding nuclei through their nuclear radii. So we need accurate knowledge of nuclear radii. In the present study, we propose a new technique, which can be used to calculate the fusion barrier heights of any fixed target reaction series. For this study, we first compute barrier heights for X + 62 Ni, X + 119 Sn and X + 197 Au reaction series using different versions of proximity potential. Here, X projectile varies from 1 Ht o 59 Co. This study is carried out using proximity potentials PROX 77, PROX 88, PROX 2000, PROX 2000DP, PROX 2010 and MOD-PROX 88.
