Delving into the intricate properties of heavy neutron-rich nuclei is crucial since they have the potential to reshape our understanding of nuclear physics and astrophysics.
The fusion of two nuclei is a complex process influenced by many factors. These factors include not only the relative energy and angular momentum of the two nuclei, but also how their structures evolve as they collide. The ...
