Study of the 20,22Ne+20,22Ne and 10,12,13,14,15C+12C Fusion Reactions with MUSIC

A highly efficient MUlti-Sampling Ionization Chamber (MUSIC) detector has been developed for measurements of fusion reactions. A study of fusion cross sections in the 10,12,13,14,15 C+ 12 C and 20,22 Ne+ 20,22 Ne systems has been performed at ATLAS. Experimental results and comparison with theoretical predictions are presented. Furthermore, results of direct measurements of the 17 O( α, n ) 20 Ne, 23 Ne( α, p ) 26 Mg and 23 Ne( α, n ) 26 Al reactions will be discussed.
