Popis: Measuring the fusion excitation function for an isotopic chain of projectile nuclei provides a stringent test of a microscopic description of fusion. We report the first measurement of the fusion excitation function at near-barrier energies for the 19 O + 12 C system. The measured excitation function is compared with the fusion excitation function of 18 O + 12 C. A significant enhancement in the fusion probability of 19 O ions with a 12 C target as compared to 18 O ions is observed. The experimental cross-sections observed at near-barrier energies are compared with a state-of-the-art microscopic model.
