Lf. Canto et al., EFFECT OF COULOMB DIPOLE POLARIZABILITY OF HALO NUCLEI ON THEIR NEAR-BARRIER FUSION WITH HEAVY TARGETS, Physical review. C. Nuclear physics, 52(6), 1995, pp. 2848-2850
We show that the very strong Coulomb dipole polarizability and breakup
of Li-11 reduces significantly its near-barrier fusion cross section
with a heavy target nucleus. We suggest that the measurement of sigma(
F) concomitantly with that bf;he elastic scattering would allow an una
mbiguous extraction of the dipole polarizability of halo nuclei.
