Abstract
Fusion reactions of halo nuclei are investigated theoretically with a three-body model. The time-dependent wave-packet method is used to solve the three-body Schrödinger equation. Dynamics of the halo nucleons are visualized in the coordinate space. Significant differences between the neutron-halo and the proton-halo systems are discussed in connection to the Coulomb breakup process. The fusion cross sections are calculated for 11Be - 209Bi and 6He - 238U. Our calculation indicates that the fusion cross section is slightly hindered by the presence of weakly bound neutrons. The present results nicely agree with recent measurements.
