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 …

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 …

Time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory has been a powerful tool in describing a
variety of complex nuclear dynamics microscopically without empirical parameters. In this …

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 …

We perform a study of 16 O+ 16 O fusion at above and below the interaction barrier energies
using three-dimensional time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) calculations at above-barrier …

Background: The Pauli exclusion principle plays a crucial role as a building block of many-
body quantal systems comprised of fermions. It also induces a “Pauli repulsion” in the …

Multinucleon transfer processes in low-energy heavy ion reactions have attracted increasing
interest in recent years aiming at the production of new neutron-rich isotopes. Clearly, it is an …
