FUSION OF LIGHT PROTON-RICH EXOTIC NUCLEI AT NEAR-BARRIER ENERGIES

Near-barrier Fusion Induced by Stable Weakly Bound and Exotic Halo Light Nuclei

The effect of breakup is investigated for the medium weight 6Li+59Co system in the vicinity of the Coulomb barrier. The strong coupling of breakup/transfer channels to fusion is discussed within a comparison of predictions of the Continuum Discretized Coupled-Channels model which is also applied to 6He+59Co a reaction induced by the borromean halo nucleus 6He.

Measuring the fusion of neutron-rich light nuclei at and below the Coulomb barrier

Molecular Structure with Exotic Clusters in light Neutron - rich Nuclei

The excited states of 12 Be, 14 Be and 15 B have been studied with a method of antisym-metrized molecular dynamics. In the predicted excited states we find novel molecule-like structures with very exotic clusters such as 6 He+ 8 He in 14 Be and 6 He+ 9 Li in 15 B. The origin of the 6 He cluster development in the very neutron-rich nuclei is understood by the new-type correlation among 4 neutron...

Fusion and Direct Reactions of Halo Nuclei at Energies around the Coulomb Barrier

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 on elastic scattering and fusion is investigated, with the focus on halo nuclei, for which such effects are expected to be most important. With the aim of resolving possible ambiguities in the terminology a short l...

Study of light proton-rich nuclei by complete kinematics measurements

Light proton-rich bound and unbound nuclei were produced by means of stripping reactions of secondary beams of Mg and Ne. The decays of the unbound nuclei Na have been measured by detecting their decay products Ne and one proton and by performing an invariant-mass reconstruction. For Na, the present work is the first measurement of its decay. As the decay scheme of this nucleus could not be det...
