We analyze the $^{16}{\rm C}+p$ and $^{16}{\rm C}+d$ reactions within the four- and five-body Continuum Discretized Coupled Channel (CDCC) method. The $^{16}$C nucleus is described by a $^{14}{\rm C}+n+n$ configuration in hyperspherical…

The neutron-capture reaction plays a critical role in the synthesis of the elements in stars and is important for societal applications including nuclear power generation and stockpile-stewardship science. However, it is difficult - if not…
We review the theoretical methods to evaluate fusion cross sections in collisions of weakly bound nuclei. We piont out that in such collisions the coupling to the breakup channel leads to the appearance of different fusion processes. The…
In weakly bound exotic nuclei, number of excited bound states or narrow resonances is small and, moreover, they couple strongly to the particle continuum. Hence, these systems should be described in the quantum open system formalism which…
