Thermal and atomic effects on coupled-channels heavy-ion fusion
Iain Lee, Gilbert Gosselin, Alexis Diaz-Torres
Stellar nuclear fusion reactions take place in a hot, dense plasma within stars. To account for the effect of these environments, the theory of open quantum systems is used to cond…
Coherence dynamics in low-energy nuclear fusion
Iain Lee, Alexis Diaz-Torres
Low-energy nuclear fusion reactions have been described using a dynamical coupled-channels density matrix method, based on the theory of open quantum systems. For the first time, t…
Tracing the dynamical interplay of low-energy reaction processes of exotic nuclei using a two-center molecular continuum
Laura Moschini, Alexis Diaz-Torres
The competition among reaction processes of a weakly-bound projectile at intermediate times of a slow collision has been unraveled. This has been done using a two-center molecular…
Identifying resonances with wave-packet dynamics
Alexis Diaz-Torres, Jeffrey A. Tostevin
A new method for the study of resonant behavior - using wave-packet dynamics - is presented, based on the powerful window operator technique. The method is illustrated and quantifi…
Effects of unconventional breakup modes on incomplete fusion of weakly bound nuclei
Alexis Diaz-Torres, Daanish Quraishi
The incomplete fusion dynamics of Li + Bi collisions at energies above the Coulomb barrier is investigated. The classical dynamical model implemented in the {\sc platyp…
Characterizing the astrophysical S-factor for C+C with wave-packet dynamics
Alexis Diaz-Torres, Michael Wiescher
A quantitative study of the astrophysically important sub-barrier fusion of C+C is presented. Low-energy collisions are described in the body-fixed reference frame us…
