Complete and incomplete fusion of $^{7}$Li projectiles on heavy targets

TL;DR

This paper discusses a new method to evaluate complete and incomplete fusion cross sections for weakly bound systems, applied to $^{7}$Li projectiles on heavy targets, showing good agreement with experimental data.

Contribution

It introduces a novel approach for calculating fusion cross sections in weakly bound nuclear systems and validates it against experimental results.

Findings

Good agreement between theoretical calculations and experimental data.

The method effectively distinguishes between complete and incomplete fusion.

Applicable to weakly bound systems like $^{7}$Li on heavy targets.

Abstract

We present a detailed discussion of a recently proposed method to evaluate complete and incomplete fusion cross sections for weakly bound systems. The method is applied to collisions of $^{7}$Li projectiles on different heavy targets, and the results are compared with the available data. The overall agreement between experiment and theory is fairly good.
