The entrance channel effects in the decay of compound nucleus 190Pt* formed using different incoming channels i.e. 132Sn+58Ni and 126Sn+64Ni is studied by using dynamical cluster-decay model (DCM). The neutron-rich radioactive beams of 132Sn and 126Sn are used here. We find that with the inclusion of deformation effects up to quadrupole (β2), the structure of potential energy surfaces changes a little bit at ℓ = 0 and significantly at ℓ = ℓmax. It is also observed that for both the entrance channels, the preformation probability of decaying fragments is almost identical at same ℓmax and comparable centre of mass energies. This identical potential energy surface behavior and same ℓmax values in either of entrance channels, enable us to conclude that decay of 190Pt* is independent of formation effects. The relevant role of level density parameter is also analyzed.
