Sensitivity of quasifission dynamics to the nuclear symmetry energy in Ca+Cf
C. Ross, R. Gumbel, K. Godbey +1
We present a systematic study of the sensitivity of quasifission dynamics to the nuclear symmetry energy in the Ca~+~Cf system, the reaction used for the synthesis o…

Spherical and Deformed Shell Effect Competition in Quasifission of Superheavy Nuclei
Richard Gumbel, Kyle Godbey
Quasifission, along with fusion-fission, represent the two most likely reaction outcomes to occur post-capture in collisions leading to superheavy nuclei. As such, understanding th…

Role of isospin composition in low energy nuclear fusion
Richard Gumbel, Christian Ross, A. S. Umar
We employ a microscopic approach that examines the impact of isospin dynamics on the process of low energy nuclear fusion along an isotope chain and dependence on deformation. Our…
