Abstract

The dynamics present in the fusion of neutron-rich nuclei is explored through the comparison of experimental cross-sections at above-barrier energies with measurements of the interaction cross-section at relativistic energies. The increase of fusion dynamics with increasing neutron excess is clearly demonstrated. Experimental cross-sections are compared with the predictions of a Sao Paulo model using relativistic mean field density distributions and the impact of different interactions is explored.
