The accuracy of several astrophysical models, as those describing elemental abundances in the Universe, is limited by the knowledge of cross-section for a wide number of nuclear reactions, often involving light charged reactants at low collision energies ($< 100$ keV). The reaction dynamics in such regime is dominated by the penetration of the Coulomb barrier. The process is also influenced by...
Nucleon removal reactions at intermediate energies have proven to be a powerful tool to extract spectroscopic information from atomic nuclei. Despite their extensive use, there remain some open questions in their description. In particular since the early 2000s, a trend was noticed in which cross sections for nucleon knockout with heavy targets was found to be significantly overestimated for...
Radioactive Ions Beams (RIBs) have been produced at Laboratori Nazionali del Sud (LNS-INFN) since 2001 by means of the In-Flight fragmentation method [1-3]. With the upgrade of the laboratory thanks to the ambitious and massive upgrade project (POTLNS) the extraction technique of the K800 Superconducting Cyclotron will be improved and one of the goals is to deliver light and medium masses...
In our recent work [1], we presented a new expression for the coulomb dynamical polarization potential (CDPP) and the electric dipole polarizability of light exotic nuclei with a two-body deuteronlike cluster structure. The Schrödinger equation for the internal motion of the exotic projectile incident on a heavy target nucleus is solved using the adiabatic approximation.
Then, this CDPP was...
Recent experimental measurements for the $^8$Li+$^{58}$Ni system at 23.9, 26.1, 28.7 and 30 MeV bombarding energies have been obtained using the RIBRAS facility [1-4]. A strong production of $^7$Li particles has been observed from the breakup of the $^8$Li into $^7$Li+n and the one neutron transfer reaction of the $^8$Li projectile to the $^{58}$Ni target. The $^{7}$Li angular distributions...
The nuclear fusion cross section has been a quantity of interest since the advent of nuclear physics [1]. Its dependence on the combination of projectile and target, as well as incident energy, has been studied in great detail. More recently, interest has turned to the effects on the cross section of the breakup of weakly bound projectiles, which brings the possibility of incomplete fusion,...
