Hyperfine Interactions Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Considerable efforts in μCF studies (since [1]) were aimed at observation of various fusion processes. The impact of these studies on the understanding of properties of the lightest nuclei, the dynamics of low-energy fusion reactions and the Coulomb three-body system structure are reviewed. Unsolved theoretical and experimental problems are summarized.
