Fusion hindrance in heavy systems with time-dependent Hartree-Fock

Fusion process studied with preequilibrium giant dipole resonance in time dependent Hartree-Fock theory

Skyrme-force time-dependent Hartree-Fock calculations with axial symmetry

We discuss axially symmetric time-dependent Hartree-Fock calculations using a finite-range modification of the Skyrme energy functional. The finite-difference forms of the coordinate-space time-dependent Hartree-Fock equations, the method of time evolution, and other numerical aspects are presented. Detailed results for 84Krinduced deep-inelastic collisions with 208Pb at E 1,b = 494 MeV and wit...

Neutron Transfer Dynamics and Doorway to Fusion in Time-Dependent Hartree-Fock Theory

We analyze the details of mass exchange in the vicinity of the Coulomb barrier for heavy-ion collisions involving neutron-rich nuclei using the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory. We discuss the time-dependence of transfer and show that the potential barriers seen by individual single-particle states can be considerably different than the effective barrier for the two interacting nuclei ...

Density-Constrained Time-Dependent Hartree-Fock Calculation of O+Pb Fusion Cross-Sections

We present a fully microscopic study of the O+Pb fusion using the density-constrained time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory. The calculated fusion cross-sections are in good agreement with the experimental data for the entire energy range indicating that the incorporation of dynamical effects is crucial in describing heavy-ion fusion. PACS. 21.60.Jz Nuclear Density Functional Theory and extensions...

Fission dynamics within time-dependent Hartree-Fock: deformation-induced fission

Studies of nuclear fission have been ongoing since the discovery of the process in 1938 by Hahn and Strassmann [1]. The actinide nuclide Pu has long been a case of interest, as spontaneous fission presents itself as a decay mechanism with significant probability, relative to other isotopes in the actinide region. This allows for quantitative comparisons between spontaneous and induced fission [...
