Abstract

We have performed a time-dependent Hartree-Fock calculation for the $^{16} O +^{40} Ca and^{16} O +^{48} Ca$ systems to study charge equilibration, which is found to be related to the longitudinal component of the giant dipole resonance of the composite system. The quantities which can be deduced from the calculation are in agreement with those used in phenomenological calculations.

Advantages of the multinucleon transfer reactions based on <sup>238</sup> U target for producing neutron-rich isotopes around N = 126
2019, Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics
The mechanism of multinucleon transfer (MNT) reactions for producing neutron-rich heavy nuclei around $N = 126$ is investigated within two different theoretical frameworks: dinuclear system (DNS) model and isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics (IQMD) model. The effects of mass asymmetry relaxation, $N / Z$ equilibration, and shell closures on production cross sections of neutron-rich heavy nuclei are investigated. For the first time, the advantages for producing neutron-rich heavy nuclei around $N = 126$ are found in MNT reactions based on ²³⁸U target. We propose the MNT reactions with ²³⁸U target for producing unknown neutron-rich heavy nuclei around $N = 126$ in the future.
Influence of entrance-channel magicity and isospin on quasi-fission
2012, Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics
The role of spherical quantum shells in the competition between fusion and quasi-fission is studied for reactions forming heavy elements. Measurements of fission fragment mass distributions for different reactions leading to similar compound nuclei have been made near the fusion barrier. In general, more quasi-fission is observed for reactions with non-magic nuclei. However, the ⁴⁰Ca + ²⁰⁸Pb reaction is an exception, showing strong evidence for quasi-fission, though both nuclei are doubly magic. Time-dependent Hartree–Fock calculations predict fast equilibration of $N / Z$ in the two fragments early in the collision. This transfer of nucleons breaks the shell effect, causing this reaction to behave more like a non-magic one in the competition between fusion and quasi-fission. Future measurements of fission in reactions with exotic beams should be able to test this idea with larger $N / Z$ asymmetries.
The dynamical dipole mode in dissipative heavy-ion collisions
2001, Nuclear Physics A
We study the effect of a direct giant dipole resonance (GDR) excitation in intermediate dinuclear systems with exotic shape and charge distributions formed in charge asymmetric fusion entrance channels. A related enhancement of the GDR gamma yield in the evaporation cascade of the fused nucleus is expected. The dynamical origin of such GDR extra strength will show up in a characteristic anisotropy of the dipole gamma-emission. A fully microscopic analysis of the fusion dynamics is performed with quantitative predictions of the GDR photon yield based on a dynamics-statistics coupling model. In particular we focus our attention on the energy and mass dependence of the effect. We suggest a series of new experiments, in particular some optimal entrance channel conditions. We stress the importance of using the new available radioactive beams.
Giant dipole modes in heavy-ion reactions
1989, Nuclear Physics, Section A
A detailed study of the excitation of giant dipole modes (GDR) in intermediate energy heavy-ion collisions is presented in the framework of a full (non-linearized) Landau-Vlasov equation. After having recalled the basic inputs of this dynamical formalism, within insisting upon the limitations of the Uehling-Uhlenbeck collision integral and upon the introduction of a realistic (isospin dependent) effective interaction, we present our tools for analyzing the GDR in the simple case of isolated nuclei. We then pass on to simulations of collisions and discuss in some detail isospin modes in the model ¹²Be+¹²C reaction. Results obtained for the energy of the excited dipole mode are in agreement with what is expected for excited, rotating, giant dipole oscillations in deformed nuclei.
Excitation of giant dipole modes in heavy-ion reactions
1988, Nuclear Physics, Section A
A study of the excitation of giant dipole modes during heavy-ion reactions is presented within the framework of a complete (non linearized) Vlasov equation. It is found that, in the entrance channel, a giant dipole motion is responsible for the charge equilibration process in the fused system. The phonon energies corresponding to this mode are in agreement with what is expected for excited, rotating, deformed giant dipole oscillations.
Peripheral reactions at intermediate energies in Landau-Vlasov dynamics
1987, Physics Letters B
Peripheral reactions have been studied within a self-consistent description of heavy-ion-induced reactions at intermediate energies. Neutrons and protons behave separately in an effective mean field and suffer two-body collisions. Nuclear surface properties are obtained using a decomposition of the one-body distribution function on a coherent states basis. Charge equilibration, spin deposition and projectile-like energies are described for quasi-fragmentation reactions. The transition between incomplete deep inelastic processes and fragmentation reactions is found for an incident energy around 35 MeV per nucleon.
