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 …

The development of accelerators able to give nuclei enough energy to overcome the
electrostatic repulsion between them has opened up the field of heavyion reactions and …

The semiclassical coupled equations for heavy ion reactions are utilized to describe deep
inelastic collisions and fusion. The loss of ebergy and angular momentum from the relative …

The barrier-penetration problem in the presence of couplings to intrinsic degrees of freedom
is discussed in a framework suitable for describing heavy-ion fusion reactions. The inward …

A quantal formulation of the two-nucleon transfer process is given, and the basic coupled-
channel equations are solved by iteration up to second order. The first order corresponds to …

We develop an optical-Bloch-equation approach for modeling ultracold-atom collisions in
optical traps. The method incorporates a molecular picture of the atomic collision, laser-field …

A semi-classical theory, derived from the Feynman path-integral formalism by applying the
saddle point method, is formulated for elastic and inelastic heavy ion reactions. This theory …

The inelastic scattering of 16O and 18O projectiles by 58Ni and 64Ni has been studied to
investigate the interference between Coulomb and nuclear excitation. The interference …

We present a detailed study of a representative set of elastic and inelastic heavy ion
scattering data by means of a closed formalism that depends entirely on the properties of the …

The momentum transfer and the so-called “capture”(or “orbiting”) cross sections for collisions
between an ion and a polar molecule are investigated. For this purpose, the perturbed …
