Disentangling the role of vibration, rotation, and neutron transfer in the fusion of neutron-rich mid-mass nuclei

J. Vadas, Varinderjit Singh, B. B. Wiggins +9

We report the first measurement of the fusion excitation functions for ${}^{39,47}$K + ${}^{28}$Si at near-barrier energies. Evaporation residues resulting from the fusion process were…
