Abstract

We have used a realistic single-panicle K-matrix model to compute the head-on scattering of 12C + 12C at incident projectile lab energies of 3.2, 6.4, 12.8, 19.2, 25.6, 32, 51.2 and 64 MeVnucleon, above the Coulomb barrier, in the time-dependent Hartree-Fock approximation. Direct and exchange Coulomb forces as well as spin-orbit forces are included. A large deformed harmonic oscillator basis is used. Spatial density and current distributions at various times are shown. The outgoing energy is found to be E0 = 0.8Ein−28 (MeV), in the c.m. system. Fusion and fully relaxed scattering are observed at low energy. Some compression is seen at higher energies but no shock waves can be detected. Consequences for heavy-ion reactions are discussed.
