Spin-Dependent Nucleon-Nucleus Interactions Constrained by Neutron Observables and Their Impact on Near-Barrier Proton Fusion

Kyoungsu Heo, Myung-Ki Cheoun, Kouichi Hagino

We investigate the role of spin-dependent nucleon-nucleus interactions in nuclear reactions. To this end, we use neutron spin observables to constrain the dominant central spin-spi…
