Sub-barrier fusion cross sections (σfus) for the 6Li + 58Ni system, obtained from the respective evaporation protons, are examined in the present work. With respect to expectations of a simple one-dimensional barrier penetration model, a large enhancement of the data is observed. Good consistency with equivalent data reported previously for similar systems is found. A comparison with total reaction cross sections (σR), deduced from elastic scattering measurements reported previously, indicates that σfus is close to σR within the measured energy range. To estimate the contribution of complete fusion (CF), an optical model analysis of the elastic scattering data is performed where CF is identified with the absorption in a short range volume potential. A surface polarization potential is added to the bare nuclear potential to simulate the effect of peripheral reactions. The results obtained indicate that other mechanisms different from CF may be dominant, especially in the lower energy region.
