Abstract

The diffusion coefficient for quadrupolar shape changes is derived in a model based on the mixing of static Hartree-Fock configurations by the residual interaction. The model correctly predicts the width of single-particle configurations. We find a diffusion rate depending on temperature as T3, consistent with at least one other theoretical estimate. However, our diffusion rate is an order of magnitude lower than two values extracted from data.
