Fusion cross sections have been measured for the asymmetric system $^{16}\mathrm{O}+^{165}\mathrm{Ho}$ at energies near and deep below Coulomb barrier with an aim to investigate occurrence of fusion hindrance system. Cross down $\ensuremath{\approx}700$ nb using off-beam $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray technique. The compared coupled channel calculations. energy onset appears occur ${E}_{\mathrm{c}.\...
