Abstract
Near-barrier fusion of neutron-rich nuclei was studied within the semiempirical channel coupling model for intermediate neutron rearrangement and within the time-dependent three-body Schrödinger equation. The possibility of neutron transfer with positive values considerably increases the barrier penetrability. A huge enhancement of deep sub-barrier fusion probability was found for light neutron-rich weakly bound nuclei (such as ). This may be quite important for astrophysical primordial and supernova nucleosynthesis.
