Atomic nuclei are quantum many-body systems of protons and neutrons held together by
strong nuclear forces. Under the proper conditions, nuclei can break into two (sometimes …

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 …

▪ Abstract The experimental extraction of detailed barrier distributions has brought a
significant advance in the study of the fusion of heavy nuclei, and indeed in the entire heavy …

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 …

The boundary between the grazing deep inelastic collisions and the quasi-fission or fusion
reactions is studied though classical, semiclassical and WKB approximations. Although …

Pre-scission and post-scission neutron yields have been measured as a function of
projectile mass, compound nucleus fissility, and fission mass split and total kinetic energy …

Triple-differential cross sections have been measured as a function of product mass, total
kinetic energy, and center-of-mass scattering angle in reactions induced by U 238 on O 16 …

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 …

The most interesting process of collective flow of nuclear matter is the fission process. The
time-scale of this process at moderate to high excitation energies is reviewed. Various …

A summary of recent researches on nuclear dynamics with realistic microscopic quantum
approaches is presented. The Balian-Vénéroni variational principle is used to derive the …
