Description

The 'barrier distributions' arising from neutron transfer channels are discussed. It is shown that sequential transfers can lead to the broad distributions characteristic of many experimental fusion cross sections. Finite Q-value effects can lead to neutron flow and a build up of a neck between the colliding nuclei. 'Anti-necking' may also occur. (orig.)
