Entrance Channel Effects on the Quasifission Reaction Channel in Cr + W Systems
K. Hammerton, D. J. Morrissey, Z. Kohley +14
Background: Formation of a fully equilibrated compound nucleus is a critical step in the heavy-ion fusion reaction mechanism but can be hindered by orders of magnitude by quasifiss…
Reduced quasifission competition in fusion reactions forming neutron-rich heavy elements
K. Hammerton, Z. Kohley, D. J. Hinde +15
Measurements of mass-angle distributions (MADs) for Cr + W reactions, providing a wide range in the neutron-to-proton ratio of the compound system, (N/Z)CN, have allowed for the de…
Interplay between quantum shells and orientation in quasi-fission
A. Wakhle, C. Simenel, D. J. Hinde +5
The quasi-fission mechanism hinders fusion in heavy systems through breakup within zeptoseconds into two fragments with partial mass equilibration. Its dependence on the structure…
Effects of Nuclear Structure on Quasi-fission
Cédric Simenel, A. Wakhle, Benoît Avez +6
The quasi-fission mechanism hinders fusion of heavy systems because of a mass flow between the reactants, leading to a re-separation of more symmetric fragments in the exit channel…
Complete Fusion Enhancement and Suppression of Weakly Bound Nuclei at Near Barrier Energies
P. R. S. Gomes, L. F. Canto, J. Lubian +5
We consider the influence of breakup channels on the complete fusion of weakly bound systems in terms of dynamic polarization potentials. It is argued that the enhancement of the c…
Investigation of the role of shell structure in quasi-fission mass distributions
D. J. Hinde, R. du Rietz, R. G. Thomas +8
Systematic measurements of mass-ratio distributions for fission following collisions of Ti projectiles with even-even target nuclei from Sm to Pb have been m…
Influence of entrance-channel magicity and isospin on quasi-fission
Cédric Simenel, D. J. Hinde, R. Du Rietz +5
The role of spherical quantum shells in the competition between fusion and quasi-fission is studied for reactions forming heavy elements. Measurements of fission fragment mass dist…
Novel insights into transfer processes in the reaction 16O+208Pb at sub-barrier energies
M. Evers, C. Simenel, M. Dasgupta +4
The collision of the doubly-magic nuclei O+Pb is a benchmark in nuclear reaction studies. Our new measurements of back-scattered projectile-like fragments at sub-bar…
