Charm and Beauty in Particle Physics

Enhanced Fusion-Evaporation Cross Sections in Neutron-Rich Sn on Ni
Evaporation residue cross sections have been measured with neutron-rich
radioactive Sn beams on Ni in the vicinity of the Coulomb
barrier. The average beam intensity was particles per second
and the smallest cross section measured was less than 5 mb. Large subbarrier
fusion enhancement was observed. Coupled-channels calculations taking into
account inelastic excitation and neutron transfer underpredict the measured
cross sections below the barrier.Comment: 4 pages including 1 table and 3 figure
Fusion of radioactive Sn with Ni
Evaporation residue and fission cross sections of radioactive Sn on
Ni were measured near the Coulomb barrier. A large sub-barrier fusion
enhancement was observed. Coupled-channel calculations including inelastic
excitation of the projectile and target, and neutron transfer are in good
agreement with the measured fusion excitation function. When the change in
nuclear size and shift in barrier height are accounted for, there is no extra
fusion enhancement in Sn+Ni with respect to stable Sn+Ni.
A systematic comparison of evaporation residue cross sections for the fusion of
even Sn and Sn with Ni is presented.Comment: 9 pages, 11 figure
High-precision B(E2) measurements of semi-magic Ni 58,60,62,64 by Coulomb excitation
High-precision reduced electric-quadrupole transition probabilities B(E2;01+→21+) have been measured from single-step Coulomb excitation of semi-magic Ni58,60,62,64 (Z=28) beams at 1.8 MeV per nucleon on a natural carbon target. The energy loss of the
