Neutron dynamics in the fusion of neutron-rich O ions with C
A. Leon, H. Desilets, Rohit Kumar +18
The fusion excitation function for O + C was measured for the first time and compared to the fusion of less neutron-rich isotopes. The impact of valence neutrons in t…
Measuring O(p,n)F reactions using an active target detector
Rohit Kumar, H. Desilets, R. T. deSouza
Proton capture on O nuclei is measured in inverse kinematics with the active target detector MuSIC@Indiana using CH as the target gas. Rejection of unreacted and inel…
Observation of oscillations and near-barrier suppression in the fusion of O + p
H. Desilets, Rohit Kumar, R. T. deSouza +8
Using an active target detector, the fusion excitation function for O + H was measured for the first time. Near the barrier, the fusion cross section manifests an oscill…
Resonant suppression of the above-barrier fusion cross-section in O + C
H. Desilets, Rohit Kumar, R. T. deSouza +8
Fusion excitation functions for O and F + C were simultaneously measured along with O + C using the active-target detector MuSIC@Indiana. Examina…
Deconstructing the emission order of protons, neutrons and -particles following fusion in Si + Si
Rohit Kumar, H. Desilets, J. E. Johnstone +12
A high-quality measurement of proton and -particle emission associated with fusion of Si with a Si target is described. Evaporation residues produced by de-e…
Influence of additional neutrons on the fusion cross-section beyond the N=8 shell
S. Hudan, H. Desilets, Rohit Kumar +4
Fusion enhancement for neutron-rich isotopes of oxygen on carbon nuclei was probed. To measure the fusion cross-section a O beam accelerated to E/A=2.7 MeV bombarded…
In search of beyond mean-field signatures in heavy-ion fusion reactions
R. T. deSouza, K. Godbey, S. Hudan +1
Examination of high-resolution, experimental fusion excitation functions for O + C reveals a remarkable irregular behavior that is rooted in the structure of bo…
