In this Report we give a balanced account of the experimental and theoretical advances
acquired over the last decade in the field of near-barrier fusion reactions induced by weakly …

In this review the phenomenon of heavy-ion fusion at low energies is discussed in detail,
with special emphasis given to the fusion of loosely bound stable and unstable projectiles …

Low-energy heavy-ion fusion reactions are governed by quantum tunneling through the
Coulomb barrier formed by the strong cancellation of the repulsive Coulomb force with the …

Comprehensive high precision complete and incomplete fusion cross sections have been
measured for the Li 6+ Bi 209, Li 7+ Bi 209, and Be 9+ Pb 208 reactions, at energies near …

The present understanding of reaction processes involving light unstable nuclei at energies
around the Coulomb barrier is reviewed. The effect of coupling to direct reaction channels …

We present a computational methodology for a theory of the lowest axially symmetric
octupole excitations applicable to all even-even nuclei beyond the lightest. The theory is the …

The combination of conductors, semiconductors and insulators with well-defined geometries
and at prescribed length scales, while forming intimate interfaces, is essential in most …

A review of evidence on the properties of the A= 11 nuclei, with emphasis on material
leading to information about the structure of the A= 11 systems.

Atomic nuclei are composite systems, and they may be dynamically excited during nuclear
reactions. Such excitations are not only relevant to inelastic scattering but they also affect …

The reaction He 6+ Zn 64 was studied in order to investigate the effects of the projectile
neutron-halo structure on the reaction mechanism at energies around the Coulomb barrier …
