Fusion dynamics of <scp> ¹² C </scp> + <scp> ¹² C </scp> reaction: An astrophysical interest within the relativistic mean?field approach

The $^{12}$C+$^{12}$C fusion reaction plays a significant role in the later phases of stellar evolution. For better understanding evolution involved, one must understand corresponding fusion-fission dynamics and characteristics. In present analysis, we have studied cross-section along with S-factor for this using well-known M3Y recently developed R3Y nucleon-nucleon (NN) potential relativistic mean-field densities double folding approach. density distributions microscopic NN are calculated NL3$^*$ parameter set. $\ell$- summed Wong model is employed to investigate cross-section, $\ell_{max}$-values from sharp cut-off model. results also then compared experimental data. It found that interaction gives reasonable agreement
