Abstract

A simple model to understand the reaction mechanisms in the fusion of polarized heavy ions based on tidal symmetry, the sudden approximation and barrier penetration is presented. The model is applied to 23Na+ 208Pb. The effect of the ground state reorientation and the coupling to rotational states is studied. Enhancement of the sub-barrier fusion cross sections and the fusion J-moments just above the barrier are found. The polarization of the projectile affects strongly the fusion around and below the Coulomb barrier.
