Barrier modification in sub-barrier fusion reactions using Wong formula with Skyrme forces in semiclassical formalism
We obtain the nuclear proximity potential by using semiclassical extended
Thomas Fermi (ETF) approach in Skyrme energy density formalism (SEDF), and use
it in the extended -summed Wong formula under frozen density
approximation. This method has the advantage of allowing the use of different
Skyrme forces, giving different barriers. Thus, for a given reaction, we could
choose a Skyrme force with proper barrier characteristics, not-requiring extra
``barrier lowering" or ``barrier narrowing" for a best fit to data. For the
Ni+Mo reaction, the -summed Wong formula, with effects of
deformations and orientations of nuclei included, fits the fusion-evaporation
cross section data exactly for the force GSkI, requiring additional barrier
modifications for forces SIII and SV. However, the same for other similar
reactions, like Ni+Ni, fits the data best for SIII force.
Hence, the barrier modification effects in -summed Wong expression
depends on the choice of Skyrme force in extended ETF method.Comment: INPC2010, Vancouver, CANAD
Theory of charge dispersion in nuclear fission
By introducing charge asymmetry as a new dynamical collective coordinate in the asymmetric two-center shell model, the nuclear charge dispersion in the fission of 236U is calculated without using any free parameter. The agreement between theory and experiment is quite good
