Abstract： Recently, an inelastic scattering experiment of 16O + 12C was performed at the Beijing Tandem Accelerator Nuclear Physics National of China Institute of Atomic Energy. New evidence for the existence of Bose-Einstein condensation state of 16𝑂 has been obtained. Employing a series of double-sided-silicon-strip-based telescopes, this experiment achieved accurate particle identification and coincidence measurement of 4-𝛼 in the decay of 16O for the first time. Based on this, high-resolution reaction 𝑄-value spectra was obtained and clear 4-𝛼 resonance states were reconstructed. In the vicinity of the 4-𝛼 separation threshold, 4 highly significant (3 of them above 5𝜎) resonance states were observed, which decay to the characteristic pattern of 12C(Hoyle state) + 𝛼, consistent with the predicted Hoyle-BEC structure and its rotating band features. The observation results will promote further theoretical research, and more measurements are needed for these resonance states in experiments.

Abstract： The nuclear reaction at energies near the Coulomb barrier is an effective way to study the interaction between nuclear structure and dynamics. As more exotic weakly bound nuclei become accessible at new accelerator facilities, it is becoming critically important to understand the influence of weak binding energy on reaction dynamics, including on fusion. At present, a large number of experiments have shown that the complete fusion cross section between stable weakly bound nuclei such as 6,7Li, 9Be and heavy mass target nuclei is suppressed about 30% lower than the fusion cross section calculated by existing theoretical models and the fusion cross section derived from tightly bound nuclear systems. In order to investigate the breakup effect of weakly bound nuclei on the suppression of the complete fusion cross section, studying the breakup reaction and mechanism of weakly bound nuclei has become concerned. This article introduces the recent work on breakup of weakly bound nuclei, including the research of our group.

Abstract： Through the use of the accelerator facilities at home and abroad, the nuclear reaction group of the China Institute of Atomic Energy has made many remarkable achievements in the study of fusion-fission dynamics, fusion-enhancement mechanisms at sub-barrier energies, reaction dynamics induced by exotic nuclei, and the related exotic nuclear structure and proton decay. In this study, some representative achievements are reviewed briefly. (1) The fusion mechanisms at near-barrier energies were investigated systematically, and a self-consistent method to evaluate the coupled-channel effects was proposed. (2) Nuclear deformation parameters were extracted from backward quasi-elastic scattering, which offered evidence for hexadecapole shapes. (3) A surrogate capture method was developed, based on which the first 239Pu(n,2n) excitation function developed in China was derived. (4) Systematic studies of exotic decay spectroscopies for proton-rich nuclei in the sd-shell were performed, following which a β2p decay of 22Si and a large isospin-asymmetry decay were discovered, and a strongly isospin-mixed doublet in 26Si was revealed. (5) Systematic studies of reaction mechanisms induced by exotic nuclei at energies close to the Coulomb barrier were performed, providing evidence for the failure of the dispersion relation in the optical potential of 6He+209Bi, and the reaction dynamics of proton drip-line nuclei of 8B and 17F were investigated. Future research based on the new HiTOF and BRIF facilities is discussed as well.
