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 …

Microscopic methods and tools to describe nuclear dynamics have considerably been
improved in the past few years. They are based on the time-dependent Hartree–Fock …

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 …

With the time dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory, capture thresholds E cap for 144
fusion systems with nearly spherical nuclei are systematically studied. We find that for the …

Methods for obtaining fusion cross section formulas are discussed, especially for those that
take on an empirical form. A new expression starting with σ (E)= 1 E∫ E 0 E∫ E 0 E′ B (E …

The sub-barrier fusion excitation function of 40 Ca+ 96 Zr has been measured down to cross
sections≃ 2.4 μb, ie two orders of magnitude smaller than obtained in a previous …

Fusion excitation functions with high precision have been measured for the 16 O+ 76 Ge
and 18 O+ 74 Ge systems at energies near and below the Coulomb barrier. The barrier …

Background: Heavy-ion fusion cross-sections at sub barrier energies are found to be
enhanced by orders of magnitude as compared to the predictions of one-dimensional barrier …

Background: In heavy-ion-induced fusion reactions, cross sections in the sub-barrier region
are enhanced compared to predictions of the one-dimensional barrier penetration model …

We perform a systematic study of capture excitation functions by using an empirical coupled-
channel (ECC) model. In this model, a barrier distribution is used to take effectively into …
