Abstract
We have studied the heavy-ion fusion reactions by a macroscopic model which was proposed by Bertsch several years ago. It employed the Newtonian dynamics and was constructed in such a way that the essential features of time-dependent Hartree-Fock results could be reproduced. We have applied the model to fusion of light heavy-ion systems leading to the same compound nucleus . It is shown that the model, being incorporated with the angular-momentum-dependent extra-push energy of Swiatecki, can account well for the fusion cross sections up to very high energies where cross section decreases as energy increases, and that the main reason for the decrease is the opening of the low angular momentum window.
