Extracting dynamics in the fusion of neutron-rich light nuclei

Nuclear Experiment 2020-07-23 v1 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

The dependence of fusion dynamics on neutron excess for light nuclei is extracted. This is accomplished by comparing the average fusion cross-section at energies just above the fusion barrier for 1215^{12-15}C + 12^{12}C with measurements of the interaction cross-section from high evergy collisions. The experimental results indicate that the fusion cross-section associated with dynamics increases with increasing neutron excess. Calculations with a time-dependent Hartree-Fock model fail to describe the observed trend.
