In this review the main advances in heavy-ion fusion research that have taken place over the
last decade are addressed. During this period, experimental studies have been extended to …

The study of fusion reactions at extreme sub-barrier energies has seen an increased interest
in recent years, although difficult to measure due to their very small cross sections. Such …

Using the different versions of phenomenological proximity potential as well as other
parametrizations within the proximity concept, we perform a detailed comparative study of …

Production and studying properties of superheavy (SH) nuclei meet significant experimental
difficulties owing to extremely low cross sections of their formation in heavy ion fusion or …

We extend a recent study that explained the steep falloff in the fusion cross section at
energies far below the Coulomb barrier for the symmetric dinuclear system Ni 64+ Ni 64 to …

Recent advances obtained in the field of near and sub-barrier heavy-ion fusion reactions are
reviewed. Emphasis is given to the results obtained in the last decade, and focus is mainly …

Fusion excitation functions have been measured for the first time with rather good accuracy
for S 32+ Zr 90 and S 32+ Zr 96 near and below the Coulomb barrier. The sub-barrier cross …

A precise fusion excitation function has been measured for Ca 40+ Zr 94 at near-and sub-
barrier energies, and the fusion barrier distribution has been extracted. Comparing with the …

The fusion excitation functions for radioactive Sn 132+ Ni 58 and stable Te 130+ Ni 58, 64
were measured at energies near the Coulomb barrier. The coupling of transfer channels in …

Near-barrier fusion of neutron-rich nuclei was studied within the semiempirical channel
coupling model for intermediate neutron rearrangement and within the time-dependent three …
