Two-Step Model of Fusion for Synthesis of Superheavy Elements [PDF]
A new model is proposed for fusion mechanisms of massive nuclear systems where so-called fusion hindrance exists. The model describes two-body collision processes in an approaching phase and shape evolutions of an amalgamated system into the compound ...

Numerical Solutions to the Grad–Shafranov Equation for Studying Plasma Equilibrium of Alvand Tokamak [PDF]
Alvand tokamak is a small-sized research tokamak for magnetically confined plasma studies. The plasma cross-section of this tokamak is circular, and its simpler structure compared to tokamaks with an elongated cross-section allows for more fundamental ...

Novel insights into transfer processes in the reaction 16O+208Pb at sub-barrier energies [PDF]
The collision of the doubly-magic nuclei $^{16}$O+$^{208}$Pb is a benchmark in nuclear reaction studies. Our new measurements of back-scattered projectile-like fragments at sub-barrier energies show show that transfer of 2 protons ($2p$) is much more ...
