Cluster Model for Near-barrier Fusion Induced by Weakly Bound and Halo Nuclei

Abstract

The influence on the fusion process of coupling transfer/breakup channels is investigated for the medium weight ${}^{6,7}$Li+${}^{59}$Co systems in the vicinity of the Coulomb barrier. Coupling effects are discussed within a comparison of predictions of the Continuum Discretized Coupled-Channels model. Applications to ${}^6$He+${}^{59}$Co induced by the borromean halo nucleus ${}^6$He are also proposed.
