Abstract

We discuss the systematic results reached in the investigation of the breakup of weakly bound nuclei, at near barrier energies, and its effects on fusion cross sections, elastic scattering and reaction cross sections. Particularly we show that the complete fusion of weakly bound systems are suppressed by dynamic breakup effects at energies above the Coulomb barrier and enhanced at sub-barrier energies. We also show that the energy dependence of the optical potential obtained in the elastic scattering of weakly bound projectiles corresponds to the so-called Breakup Threshold Anomaly (BTA).
