Breakup processes and their time-scales are identified through the reaction Q-values and the relative energy of the captured breakup fragments. The majority of breakup processes fast enough (∼10-22s) to affect fusion are triggered by transfer of a neutron from 6Li, and of a proton to 7Li. These breakup mechanisms should therefore have a major contribution to the ∼30% suppression of complete fusion observed at above-barrier energies.en201210.1051/epjconf/2012350500784883045418
