Fusion at deep subbarrier energies: potential inversion revisited
For a single potential barrier, the barrier penetrability can be inverted based on the WKB approximation to yield the barrier thickness. We apply this method to heavy-ion fusion reactions at energies ...

Existence of a one-body barrier revealed in deep subbarrier fusion
We propose a two-step model for heavy-ion fusion reactions based on the adiabatic approach in order to account for steep fall-off of fusion cross sections at deep subbarrier energies. The two-step mod...

We present our investigations of double-folding, heavy-ion potentials and of the role played by nucleon-nucleon interactions that incorporate medium effects in accordance with the saturation properties of nuclear matter. The dependence on the medium is included directly via a repulsive term in the heavy-ion potential, and/or via a density dependent term as in the case of zero-or finite-range forces in mean-field nuclear structure calculations. We illustrate this point with the coupled-channels calculations we performed for systems that display a hindrance in fusion at deep sub-barrier energies. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
