Abstract
We study fusion reactions of the Ni-64+Sn-132 system using the recently introduced density constrained time-dependent Hartree-Fock formalism. In this formalism the fusion barriers are directly obtained from time-dependent Hartree-Fock dynamics. In addition, we incorporate the entrance channel alignment of the deformed (oblate) Ni-64 nucleus due to dynamical Coulomb excitation. We discuss the influence of particle transfer and other dynamical effects on the fusion cross sections. Calculated cross sections are in very good agreement with data and other calculations.
