This paper discusses the role played by transfer reactions on the sub-barrier fusion enhancement. A semiclassical formalism is used to derive the transfer form factors, that are used in coupled-channel calculations. It is shown that transfer reactions that take place at small distances may be an important doorway to fusion. The relation between this formalism and the long-range absorptive fusion potential is also discussed. Results of calculations for the 16 O + A Sm, 32 S + 100 Mo and 16 O + 59 Co systems are presented.
Fusion cross sections were measured for the 6,7 Liϩ 27 Al, 64 Zn systems, at energies above the Coulomb barrier, in order to study the influence of the breakup of stable weakly bound nuclei on the fusion process. The analysis was completed by the inclusion of the data of fusion induced by 9 Be and the strongly bound 16 O and 11 B projectiles on the same targets. The fusion excitation functions have similar behavior for all projectiles incident on both targets and they show no indication of fusion hindrance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
