Abstract

From the analysis of appropriate experimental data within a simple theoretical model it is shown that the intermediate neutron transfer channels with positive Q-values really enhance the fusion cross section at sub-barrier energies. The effect of sequential fusion was found to be very large especially for fusion of weakly bound nuclei. New experiments are proposed, which may shed additional light on the effect of neutron transfer in fusion processes.
