Complete Fusion of Weakly Bound Cluster-Type Nuclei at Near Barrier Energies


Abstract in English

We consider the influence of breakup channels on the complete fusion of weakly bound cluster-type systems in terms of dynamic polarization potentials. It is argued that the enhancement of the cross section at sub-barrier energies may be consistent with recent experimental observations that nucleon transfer, often leading to breakup, is dominant compared to direct breakup. The main trends of the experimental complete fusion cross sections are analyzed in the framework of the Dynamic Polarization Potential approach. The qualitative conclusions are supported by CDCC calculations including a sequential breakup channel, the one neutron stripping of $^7$Li followed by the breakup of $^6$Li.
