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 …

Low-energy heavy-ion fusion reactions are governed by quantum tunneling through the
Coulomb barrier formed by the strong cancellation of the repulsive Coulomb force with the …

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 …

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 …

The Pauli exclusion principle induces a repulsion between composite systems of identical
fermions such as colliding atomic nuclei. Our goal is to study how heavy-ion fusion is …

Background: Couplings between relative motion and internal structures are known to affect
fusion barriers by dynamically modifying the densities of the colliding nuclei. The effect is …

Background: Near-barrier fusion can be strongly affected by the coupling between relative
motion and internal degrees of freedom of the collision partners. The time-dependent …

The tensor force is implemented into the time-dependent Hartree–Fock (TDHF) theory so
that both exotic and stable collision partners, as well as their dynamics in heavy-ion fusion …

We report the first evidence of breakup dominance at deep sub-barrier energies for the
proton halo nucleus B 8 on a heavy target. Angular distribution measurements of the B 8 …
