Description of Nuclear Structure Effects in Subbarrier Fusion by the Interacting Boson Model
A. B. Balantekin, S. Kuyucak
Recent theoretical developments in using the Interacting Boson Model to describe nuclear structure effects in fusion reactions below the Coulomb barrier are reviewed. Methods deali…
R-Process Freezeout, Nuclear Deformation, and the Rare-Earth Element Peak
R. Surman, J. Engel, J. R. Bennett +1
We use network calculations of r-process nucleosynthesis to explore the origin of the peak in the solar r-process abundance distribution near nuclear mass number A = 160. The peak…
Structure of Pairs in Heavy Weakly-Bound Nuclei
J. R. Bennett, J. Engel, S. Pittel
We study the structure of nucleon pairs within a simple model consisting of a square well in three dimensions and a delta-function residual interaction between two weakly-bound par…
Path integral approach to no-Coriolis approximation in heavy-ion collisions
K. Hagino, N. Takigawa, A. B. Balantekin +1
We use the two time influence functional method of the path integral approach in order to reduce the dimension of the coupled-channels equations for heavy-ion reactions based on th…
Effects of nuclear structure on average angular momentum in subbarrier fusion
A. B. Balantekin, J. R. Bennett, S. Kuyucak
We investigate the effects of nuclear quadrupole and hexadecapole couplings on the average angular momentum in sub-barrier fusion reactions. This quantity could provide a probe for…
