About

I have been working in the field of experimental nuclear physics focused on understanding the break-up fusion dynamics in low-energy heavy-ion collisions. Utilizing state-of-the-art experimental techniques and the advanced Pelletron accelerator facility of Inter University Accelerator Center (IUAC), New Delhi, India, this study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms governing the behavior of atomic nuclei under extreme conditions, particularly for low energy heavy-ion collisions. Through the meticulous measurements and analysis of excitation functions and forward recoil range distributions for various projectile-target combinations, interesting information about the break-up fusion reactions have been obtained. At these low energies, the complete fusion is expected to play a dominant role. The intriguing observation of competition between fusion and break-up fusion reactions, influenced by both energy and various entrance channel parameters like Coulomb factor, Qα-value etc., opens up avenues for in-depth exploration and research. The dynamic interplay between these processes presents a rich field for investigation. Moreover, investigations into the involvement of mean angular momentum in heavy-ion collisions across various reaction systems have been carried out using spin distribution measurements. The measurements suggest that break-up fusion reactions are predominantly associated with peripheral collisions. More experimental investigations are required to not only deepen our comprehension of these processes but also refine the theoretical models for accurately describing and predicting them.
