Time-Dependent Quantum Analysis of Neutron Transfer in Heavy Ion Fusion Reactions

Intermediate neutron transfer and the mechanism of "sequential fusion" were studied within the 3-body model with numerical solution of the time-depended Schrödinger equation. Neutron neck formation, polarization potential, and three dimensional neutron motion were also analyzed along with a role played by the Q-value of intermediate neutron transfer (positive, zero, and negative).
