Description
This research investigates fusion reactions, focusing on the complex dynamics
of nuclear fusion below and above the Coulomb barrier, and the formation of
superheavy elements. Using the Dinuclear System model, the study aims to
understand how multi-neutron transfer channels impact fusion cross-sections
and contribute to the identification of tetra-neutron states in weakly-bound
neutron-rich systems like 14Be and 16Be. Additionally, it explores the production
of superheavy nuclei through fusion reactions, considering internal degrees
of freedom such as vibrations and deformations, which influence fusion
dynamics and stability against fission. A coupled differential equation approach
is used to compute transmission coefficients and cross-sections based
on phenomenological potentials or folding density techniques. This research
advances theoretical insights into fusion reactions and superheavy element
formation, potentially offering new perspectives in nuclear physics and fusion
energy applications
