Abstract

Reaction-product cross sections following ²⁰Ne+¹²C and ¹⁶O + ¹⁶O collisions at several incident energies have been measured with a E-ΔE counter telescope. They are compared to statistical model predictions. Fair agreement is obtained for the high-Z evaporation residue cross sections, but a strong discrepancy is observed for the lower-Z reaction products. Possible explanations are discussed. It is shown that the compound nucleus formation does not depend on the structure of the colliding ions in the entrance channel and also that it is not limited by the ³²S yrast line.

Low-energy heavy-ion reactions and the Skyrme effective interaction
2019, Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics
The Skyrme effective interaction, with its multitude of parameterisations, along with its implementation using the static and time-dependent density functional (TDHF) formalism has allowed for a range of microscopic calculations of low-energy heavy-ion collisions. These calculations allow variation of the effective interaction along with an interpretation of the results of this variation informed by a comparison to experimental data. Initial progress in implementing TDHF for heavy-ion collisions necessarily used many approximations in the geometry or the interaction. Over the last decade or so, the implementations have overcome all restrictions, and studies have begun to be made where details of the effective interaction are being probed. This review surveys these studies in low-energy heavy-ion reactions, finding significant effects on observables from the form of the spin–orbit interaction, the use of the tensor force, and the inclusion of time-odd terms in the density functional.

The extended optical model with dispersion relation for the fusion of light heavy-ion systems
1994, Nuclear Physics, Section A
Fusion excitation functions were calculated for light heavy-ion systems in the whole measured energy range. The calculations were performed by using the extended optical model for fusion which was applied with success for above-Coulomb-barrier energies. This model is based on the separate absorptive potential for fusion. The modification of the extended optical-model potential in the sub-barrier region occurs in its real and imaginary energy-dependent parts through the dispersion relation. The effect of the critical angular-momentum cut-off has been obtained by the decrease of W_fus(E) at the high-energy region. A very good description of the experimental fusion cross sections were obtained for the following systems: ¹²C+¹²C, ¹²C+¹⁴N, ¹²C+¹⁶O, and ¹⁶O+¹⁶O. A detailed discussion of the parameters of the model is presented.
Critical angular momentum of cluster evaporation: 16O(16O, α)28Si and 16O(16O, 8Be)24Mg
1992, Nuclear Physics, Section A
Excitation functions of the ¹⁶O+¹⁶O system decaying by α and ⁸Be(g.s.) emission to low-lying states of the respective ²⁸Si and ²⁴Mg residual nuclei have been measured from E_c.m. = 18.35–31.0 MeV. All experimental results are reproduced satisfactorily by Hauser-Feshbach model calculations, if transmission coefficients for potential-barrier penetration are used for all cluster decay channels as well as for the entrance channel. Calculations using optical-model transmission coefficients are systematically at variance with the data, which is explained in terms of exit-channel angular momentum limitation.
Energy levels of A = 21-44 nuclei (VII)
1990, Nuclear Physics, Section A
The experimentally determined properties of A = 21–44 nuclides are complied and evaluated with special emphasis on nuclear spectroscopy.
Separate tables for each of the nuclides reviewed present the available information about the following properties (in this order):
- •
  - excitation energies E_x,
- •
  - γ-ray branching ratios b(γ),
- •
  - γ-ray mixing ratios σ,
- •
  - lifetimes γ_m or widths Λ,
- •
  - neutron, proton, or α-particle resonances,
- •
  - partial widths,
- •
  - single-nucleon transfer reactions,
- •
  - beta-decay,
- •
  - arguments for spin and parity (J^π) and isospin (T) assignments.
For each nuclide a master table summarizing the “best” or adopted values for E_x, J^π; T and τ_m or Λ precedes the auxiliary tables listed above.
The review of each A-chain concludes with a discussion of isospin multiplets.
Figures are presented of the level schemes of all nuclei and, for each A-chain, an overview of the relative energies of the ground states and lowest analogue states of all nuclei in the chain.
Search for low-L fusion window in the 16O + 16O reaction at 4.5 MeV/nucleon
1988, Nuclear Physics, Section A
The reaction channels other than fusion were investigated for the ¹⁶O + ¹⁶O system at 4.5 MeV per nucleon, by means of coincidence measurements of two oxygen-like fragments, and by angular correlation measurements, in and out of plane, of an alpha particle and an oxygen nucleus. The average spin of the relaxed fragments is compatible with the classical sticking limit, with a strong polarization perpendicular to the reaction plane. This is not compatible with a low-l fusion window.
