Abstract

In this paper a brief review of the status of theory and experiments concerning the study of reaction mechanisms, in particular fusion, with halo and loosely bound nuclei at energies around the Coulomb barrier is made. The data of the reactions ^4,6He+⁶⁴Zn and ¹³N+⁹Be are discussed in more detail.
