A high precision method to determine fusion in the capture of $alpha$-particles by nuclei is presented. For $alpha$-capture by $^{40}{rm Ca}$ and $^{44}{rm Ca}$, such an approach gives (1) the parameters of the $alpha$--nucleus potential and (2) fusion probabilities. This method found new parametrization and fusion probabilities and decreased the error by $41.72$ times for $alpha + ^{40}{rm Ca}$ and $34.06$ times for $alpha + ^{44}{rm Ca}$ in a description of experimental data in comparison with existing results. We show that the sharp angular momentum cutoff proposed by Glas and Mosel is a rough approximation, Wongs formula and the Hill-Wheeler approach determine the penetrability of the barrier without a correct consideration of the barrier shape, and the WKB approach gives reduced fusion probabilities. Based on our fusion probability formula, we explain the difference between experimental cross-sections for $alpha + ^{40}{rm Ca}$ and $alpha + ^{44}{rm Ca}$, which is connected with the theory of coexistence of the spherical and deformed shapes in the ground state for nuclei near the neutron magic shell $N=20$. To provide deeper insight into the physics of nuclei with the new magic number $N=26$, the cross-section for $alpha + ^{46}{rm Ca}$ is predicted for future experimental tests. The role of nuclear deformations in calculations of the fusion probabilities is analyzed.

The radiative neutron capture rates for isotopes of astrophysical interest are commonly calculated within the statistical Hauser-Feshbach reaction model. Such an approach, assuming a high level density in the compound system, can be questioned in lig
ht and neutron-rich nuclei for which only a few or no resonant states are available. Therefore, in this work we focus on the direct neutron-capture process. We employ a shell-model approach in several model spaces with well-established effective interactions to calculate spectra and spectroscopic factors in a set of 50 neutron-rich target nuclei in different mass regions, including doubly-, semi-magic and deformed ones. Those theoretical energies and spectroscopic factors are used to evaluate direct neutron capture rates and to test global theoretical models using average spectroscopic factors and level densities based on the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov plus combinatorial method. The comparison of shell-model and global model results reveals several discrepancies that can be related to problems in level densities. All the results show however that the direct capture is non-negligible with respect to the by-default Hauser-Feshbach predictions and can be even 100 times more important for the most neutron-rich nuclei close to the neutron drip line.
For one-neutron halo nuclei, the cross section for elastic scattering and breakup at intermediate energy exhibit similar angular dependences. The Recoil Excitation and Breakup (REB) model of reactions elegantly explains this feature. It also leads to
the idea of a new reaction observable to study the structure of loosely-bound nuclear systems: the Ratio. This observable consists of the ratio of angular distributions for different reaction channels, viz. elastic scattering and breakup, which cancels most of the dependence on the reaction mechanism; in particular it is insensitive to the choice of optical potentials that simulate the projectile-target interaction. This new observable is very sensitive to the structure of the projectile. In this article, we review the Ratio Method and its extension to low beam energies and proton-halo nuclei.
The astrophysical capture process $alpha+d$ $rightarrow$ $^6$Li + $gamma$ is studied in a three-body model. The initial state is factorized into the deuteron bound state and the $alpha+d$ scattering state. The final nucleus $^6$Li(1+) is described
as a three-body bound state $alpha+n+p$ in the hyperspherical Lagrange-mesh method. The contribution of the E1 transition operator from the initial isosinglet states to the isotriplet components of the final state is estimated to be negligible. An estimation of the forbidden E1 transition to the isosinglet components of the final state is comparable with the corresponding results of the two-body model. However, the contribution of the E2 transition operator is found to be much smaller than the corresponding estimations of the two-body model. The three-body model perfectly matches the new experimental data of the LUNA collaboration with the spectroscopic factor 2.586 estimated from the bound-state wave functions of $^6$Li and deuteron.
$alpha$ decay is usually associated with both ground and low-lying isomeric states of heavy and superheavy nuclei, and the unpaired nucleon plays a key role on $alpha$ decay. In this work, we systematically studied the $alpha$ decay half-lives of odd
-$A$ nuclei, including both favored and unfavored $alpha$ decay within the two-potential approach based on the isospin dependent nuclear potential. The $alpha$ preformation probabilities are estimated by using an analytic formula taking into account the shell structure and proton-neutron correlation, and the parameters are obtained through the $alpha$ decay half-lives data. The results indicate that in general the $alpha$ preformation probabilities of even-$Z$, odd-$N$ nuclei are slightly smaller than the odd-$Z$, even-$N$ ones. We found that the odd-even staggering effect may play a more important role on spontaneous fission than $alpha$ decay. The calculated half-lives can well reproduce the experimental data.
We generalize the theory of nuclear decay and capture of Gamow that is based on tunneling through the barrier and internal oscillations inside the nucleus. In our formalism an additional factor is obtained, which describes distribution of the wave fu
nction of the $alpha$ particle inside the nuclear region. We discover new most stable states (called quasibound states) of the compound nucleus (CN) formed during the capture of $alpha$ particle by the nucleus. With a simple example, we explain why these states cannot appear in traditional calculations of the $alpha$ capture cross sections based on monotonic penetrabilities of a barrier, but they appear in a complete description of the evolution of the CN. Our result is obtained by a complete description of the CN evolution, which has the advantages of (1) a clear picture of the formation of the CN and its disintegration, (2) a detailed quantum description of the CN, (3) tests of the calculated amplitudes based on quantum mechanics (not realized in other approaches), and (4) high accuracy of calculations (not achieved in other approaches). These peculiarities are shown with the capture reaction of $alpha + ^{44}{rm Ca}$. We predict quasibound energy levels and determine fusion probabilities for this reaction. The difference between our approach and theory of quasistationary states with complex energies applied for the $alpha$ capture is also discussed. We show (1) that theory does not provide calculations for the cross section of $alpha$ capture (according to modern models of the $alpha$ capture), in contrast with our formalism, and (2) these two approaches describe different states of the $alpha$ capture (for the same $alpha$-nucleus potential).
