Quasifission competes with fusion, and can suppress the cross sections for formation of
heavy elements by orders of magnitude. Its understanding is important both to map out …

Mass-energy and angular distributions of fission fragments for the Ca 48+ Sm 144, 154→ Pb
192, 202, Ca 40+ Sm 154→ Pb 194 reactions have been measured. Fusion suppression …

A precise fusion excitation function has been measured for the C 12+ Pb 208 reaction at
energies around the barrier, allowing the fusion barrier distribution to be extracted. The …

The Skyrme energy density functional has been applied to the study of heavy-ion fusion
reactions. The barriers for fusion reactions are calculated by the Skyrme energy density …

In this paper, we have studied all possible 4 8 Ca and 5 8 Fe-induced fusion reactions for
the synthesis of superheavy nuclei 1 0 4≤ Z≤ 1 2 5. The semi-empirical formula for fusion …

Nuclear shape and orientation degrees of freedom are incorporated into the calculation of
the double-folding nuclear potential within the relativistic mean-field (RMF) formalism. The …

Background: The relevance of including channel coupling effects in the form of target
deformation and vibration in fusion reactions has been well established. Many reactions with …

In Section 1 we will discuss multi-nucleon transfer reactions with light heavy ions, which can
be thought of as competing with complete fusion at higher impact parameters. Quasi-elastic …

We perform a systematic study of capture excitation functions by using an empirical coupled-
channel (ECC) model. In this model, a barrier distribution is used to take effectively into …

Nuclear reaction induced by a weakly bound projectile on light-medium mass targets poses
open questions on the fusion mechanism. It is seen that fusion suppression in such …
