We study the nuclear reaction cross-sections for some of the neutron-rich nuclei in the lighter mass region of the periodic chart which are recently measured. The well-known Glauber formalism is used by taking deformed relativistic and nonrelativistic densities as input in the calculations. We find reasonable reaction cross-sections with both the densities. However with a better inspection of the results, it is noticed that the results obtained with relativistic densities are more closure to the experimental data than the nonrelativistic Skyrme densities.

The work proposes a straightforward method for determining the nuclear reaction cross sections at extremely low energies (E ≃ 1–100 keV) on the basis of the measurements of the relative yield of fast particles which are products of the nuclear reactions in a target under laser compression. On the other hand, the proposed method makes it possible to find the averaged form of the ion velocity distribution function if the low-energy behaviour of the respective cross sections is known.

AbstractA recently published scheme for inertial fusion based on instantaneous heating of an uncompressed fuel is criticized. It is shown that efficient fusion and “time-like” fusion burn propagation cannot be realized due to the low nuclear reaction cross-sections. The suggested use of nanospheres inside the volume of the target to support the fast heating of the fuel is also questioned.
