Nucleus-nucleus potential, energy dissipation and mass dispersion in fusion and transfer reactions
The nucleus-nucleus potential and energy dissipation in fusion reactions are
obtained from microscopic mean-field dynamics. The deduced potentials nicely
reproduce the one extracted from experimental data. Energy dissipation shows a
universal behaviour between different reactions. Also, the dispersion of mass
distribution in transfer reaction is investigated in a stochastic mean-field
dynamics. By including initial fluctuations in collective space, the
description of the dispersion is much improved compared to that of mean field
only. The result is consistent with the macroscopic phenomenological analysis
of the experimental data.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures. Proceedings of Second International Workshop on

Multipole Modes for Triaxially Deformed Superfluid Nuclei
To study shape fluctuations of nuclei in transitional regions, the collective
Hamiltonian method has often been employed. We intend to construct the
quadrupole collective Hamiltonian with the collective inertial functions given
by the local quasiparticle random-phase approximation (QRPA) based on the
Skyrme energy density functional. For this purpose, we first construct a
practical framework of Skyrme QRPA for triaxial nuclear shapes with the finite
amplitude method (FAM). We show quadrupole strength functions for a triaxial
superfluid nucleus Os and the Thouless-Valatin rotational moment of
inertia by the local FAM-QRPA for Pd.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, accepted for publication in Proceedings of Ito

Evolution of giant monopole resonance with triaxial deformation
Background: The isoscalar giant monopole resonance (ISGMR) splits into two
peaks in prolately deformed nuclei. When a nucleus is triaxially deformed, a
peak appears in the middle between the two peaks.
Purpose: We investigate the mechanism of the appearance of the middle peak in
the ISGMR in triaxial nuclei.
Method: We perform the constrained Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (CHFB)
calculation for arbitrary triaxial shapes in Mo. We calculate the
strength functions of the isoscalar monopole (ISM) and IS quadrupole modes on
the CHFB states. Furthermore, we investigate vibrations of matter distributions
in , , and directions induced by the external ISM field, with the
axis being the longest axis of the triaxial shape.
Results: The middle peak in the ISM strength evolves from the triaxial degree
to . This is because the difference between the
vibration in direction and that in direction is evident with an
increase in and the quadrupole component of the induced density
of the ISM at the middle peak increases as increases, where
denotes the component of the angular momentum. This property is also
obtained in the unperturbed ISM strength without the residual fields.
Conclusions: The mixing between the monopole and quadrupole modes is
primarily determined by the ground-state deformation. Therefore, the ISM
strength of the middle peak becomes strong as the triaxial degree in the ground
state increases.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figure
Multipole modes of excitation in triaxially deformed superfluid nuclei
Background: The five-dimensional quadrupole collective model based on energy density functionals (EDFs) has often been employed to treat long-range correlations associated with shape fluctuations in nuclei. Our goal is to derive the collective inertial functions in the collective Hamiltonian by the local quasiparticle random-phase approximation (QRPA) that correctly takes into account time-odd mean-field effects. Currently, a practical framework to perform the QRPA calculation with the modern EDFs on the (β,γ) deformation space is not available.Purpose: Toward this goal, we develop an efficient numerical method to perform the QRPA calculation on the (β,γ) deformation space based on the Skyrme EDF.Methods: We use the finite amplitude method (FAM) for the efficient calculation of QRPA strength functions for multipole external fields. We construct a computational code of FAM-QRPA in the three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate space to handle triaxially deformed superfluid nuclei.Results: We validate our new code by comparing our results with former QRPA calculations for axially symmetric nuclei. Isoscalar quadrupole strength functions in triaxial superfluid nuclei 110Ru and 190Pt are obtained within a reasonable computational cost.Conclusions: QRPA calculations for triaxially deformed superfluid nuclei based on the Skyrme EDF are achieved with the help of the FAM. This is an important step toward the microscopic calculation of collective inertial functions of the local QRPA
One-body energy dissipation in fusion reaction from mean-field theory
Information on dissipation in the entrance channel of heavy-ion collisions is
extracted by macroscopic reduction procedure of Time-Dependent Hartree-Fock
theory. The method gives access to a fully microscopic description of the
friction coefficient associated with transfer of energy from the relative
motion towards intrinsic degrees of freedom. The reduced friction coefficient
exhibits a universal behavior, i.e. almost independent of systems investigated,
whose order of magnitude is comparable with the calculations based on linear
response theory. Similarly to nucleus-nucleus potential, especially close to
the Coulomb barrier, there are sizable dynamical effects on the magnitude and
form factor of friction coefficient.Comment: 7 pages, 10 figure
