Experimental quasi-elastic backscattering and capture (fusion) excitation functions are usually used to extract the s-wave capture probabilities for the heavy-ion reactions. We investigated the $^{16}$O+$^{120}$Sn,$^{144}$Sm,$^{208}$Pb…

The so called "barrier distribution" derived from quasi-elastic backscattering of heavy ions gives us, in fact, an information about the "reaction threshold distribution". For light nuclear systems these distributions are quite close, but…
