Reactions
With Weakly
Bound Cluster Nuclei,
Y. Penionzhkevich, Joint
Institute for
Nuclear Research, Dubna, Russia − Experimental excitation
functions are
presented for complete fusion and transfer reactions in the
interaction of 6He
and 6,7,9Li with different targets. In the case of
the interaction
of weakly bound nuclei the fusion process is more complex
character due to the
likely higher probability of the nuclei to breakup with
subsequent capture of
the residual nucleus (incomplete fusion). This greatly
complicates the
description of the interaction of such systems and leads to new
unexpected
effects at energies near the Coulomb barrier deeply sub barrier
fusion and
transfer of clusters from the weakly bound nuclei which are
usually
characterized by cluster structure. The
results of the present study are of paramount importance for
solving
astrophysical problems—in particular, for obtaining deeper
insight into the
mechanism of the production of light elements in the Universe.
