Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 2342–2345 (2000)Large Enhancement of the Sub-barrier Fusion Probability for a Halo NucleusReceived 27 September 1999; published in the issue dated 13 March 2000 The fusion-fission cross sections of the 4He+238U and 6He+238U systems have been measured, at Louvain-la-Neuve, for energies around and below the Coulomb barrier, using an array of Si detectors surrounding a UF4 target. The data taken with 4He are in good agreement with previous data and with the coupled channel fusion calculation performed with ECIS. The 6He data show a regular trend with a large enhancement below the barrier which is attributed to the halo structure of the 6He nucleus. © 2000 The American Physical Society URL:
