Abstract

We propose a new quantum mechanical method to evaluate complete and incomplete fusion in collisions of weakly bound nuclei. The method is applied to the ⁷\rm Li+²⁰⁹\rm Bi system and the results are compared to experimental data. The overall agreement between theory and experiment is very good, above and below the Coulomb barrier.
