Dynamical properties of heavy-ion reactions deduced from coupled-channels calculations

The distribution of the total reaction, fusion, and direct reaction cross section in $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{l}}$ space are studied using coupled-channels calculations. These calculations also provide information about such quantities as the polarization of highly excited states, the energy dependence of the fusion cross section, and the dependence of the total kinetic energy loss on the spins of the excited states.
