Abstract

The nucleon exchange process in deep-inelastic collisions is investigated by studying the one-way current constructed using the Wigner transform of the time-dependent Hartree-Fock one-body density matrix. Detailed calculations for head-on ${}^{16}O$ + ${}^{16}O$ collisions at three different bombarding energies have been performed. A combination of two simple models for the contributions from relative motion and tunneling is shown to predict one-way currents close to the time-dependent Hartree-Fock results.
