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 …

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 …

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 present understanding of reaction processes involving light unstable nuclei at energies
around the Coulomb barrier is reviewed. The effect of coupling to direct reaction channels …

Using the different versions of phenomenological proximity potential as well as other
parametrizations within the proximity concept, we perform a detailed comparative study of …

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 …

We propose a new mechanism to explain the unexpected steep falloff of fusion cross
sections at energies far below the Coulomb barrier. The saturation properties of nuclear …

New measurements of fusion cross sections at deep sub-barrier energies for the reactions O
16+ Pb 204, 208 show a steep but almost saturated logarithmic slope, unlike Ni 64-induced …

We extend a recent study that explained the steep falloff in the fusion cross section at
energies far below the Coulomb barrier for the symmetric dinuclear system Ni 64+ Ni 64 to …

The nucleus-nucleus interaction potentials in heavy-ion fusion reactions are extracted from
the microscopic time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory for the mass symmetric reactions 16 …
