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 …

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 …

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 …

In this review the phenomenon of heavy-ion fusion at low energies is discussed in detail,
with special emphasis given to the fusion of loosely bound stable and unstable projectiles …

Atomic nuclei are composite systems, and they may be dynamically excited during nuclear
reactions. Such excitations are not only relevant to inelastic scattering but they also affect …

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 …

Quasifission competes with fusion, and can suppress the cross sections for formation of
heavy elements by orders of magnitude. Its understanding is important both to map out …

In this review paper we present a detailed account of the extraction and the calculation of the
total reaction cross section of strongly bound and weakly bound, stable and unstable, exotic …

The focus of the present article is to address the effects of the role of a neutron transfer
channel in the enhancement of sub-barrier fusion excitation function data of various heavy …

The quasielastic barrier distribution of 51V+ 248Cm was extracted by measuring the
excitation function of quasielastic backscattering using a gas-filled recoil ion separator …
