A program for coupled-channels calculations with all order couplings for heavy-ion fusion reactions
نویسنده
چکیده
A FORTRAN77 program is presented that calculates fusion cross sections and mean angular momenta of the compound nucleus under the influence of couplings between the relative motion and several nuclear collective motions. The no-Coriolis approximation is employed to reduce the dimension of coupled-channels equations. The program takes into account the effects of non-linear couplings to all orders, which have been shown to play an important role in heavy-ion fusion reactions at subbarrier energies. PACS numbers: 25.70.Jj, 24.10.Eq

Validity of the linear coupling approximation in heavy-ion fusion reactions at sub barrier energies
The role of higher order coupling of surface vibrations to the relative motion in heavyion fusion reactions at near-barrier energies is investigated. The coupled channels equations are solved to all orders, and also in the linear and the quadratic coupling approximations. Taking Ni + Zr reactions as examples, it is shown that all order couplings lead to considerably improved agreement with the ...

The effects of higher order coupling of surface vibrations to the relative motion on heavy-ion fusion reactions at near-barrier energies are investigated. The coupled channels equations are solved to all orders, and also in the linear and the quadratic coupling approximations. It is shown that the shape of fusion barrier distributions and the energy dependence of the average angular momentum of...
متن کاملSensitivity to multi-phonon excitations in heavy-ion fusion reactions
Measured cross sections for the fusion of Ni with Ni, Ge, and Mo targets are analyzed in a coupled-channels approach. The data for the Ni target above 0.1 mb are reproduced by including couplings to the low-lying 2 and 3 states and the mutual and two-phonon excitations of these states. The calculations become more challenging as the fusing nuclei become softer and heavier, and excitations to mu...
متن کاملDynamical approach to heavy ion-induced fission
Deep inelastic collisions (DICs) can compete strongly with fusion in collisions of heavy nuclei. However, standard coupled-channels calculations do not take DIC process into account. As a result, calculations have been shown to overestimate the fusion cross-section and thus lead to a discrepancy between experimental data and theoretical calculations, particularly at energies above the fusion ba...
متن کاملFusion and Direct Reactions of Halo Nuclei at Energies around the Coulomb Barrier
The present understanding of reaction processes involving light unstable nuclei at energies around the Coulomb barrier is reviewed. The effect of coupling to direct reaction channels on elastic scattering and fusion is investigated, with the focus on halo nuclei, for which such effects are expected to be most important. With the aim of resolving possible ambiguities in the terminology a short l...
