Enhancement of $^{16}$O + $^{18}$O sub-barrier fusion cross sections via
distortion of valence neutrons in $^{18}$O    [PDF]

We investigate the effects of valence neutrons in $^{16}$O + $^{18}$O
sub-barrier fusions via a potential model that uses adiabatic potentials
obtained by the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics model with a constraint on
the internuclear distance. Sub-barrier fusion cross sections of $^{16}$O +
$^{18}$O are enhanced more compared to those of $^{16}$O + $^{16}$O because of
distortion of valence neutrons in $^{18}$O.
