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.

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 $^{188}$Os and the Thouless-Valatin rotational moment of inertia by the local FAM-QRPA for $^{106}$Pd.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, accepted for publication in Proceedings of Ito International Research Center (IIRC) Symposium "Perspectives of the Physics of Nuclear Structure" (JPS Proc.

Probing surface diffuseness of nucleus-nucleus potential with quasielastic scattering at deep sub-barrier energies

We perform a systematic study on the surface property of nucleus-nucleus potential in heavy-ion reactions using large-angle quasielastic scattering at energies well below the Coulomb barrier. At these energies, the quasielastic scattering can be well described by a single-channel potential model. Exploiting this fact, we point out that systems which involve spherical nuclei require the diffuseness parameter of around 0.60 fm in order to fit the experimental data, while systems with a deformed target between 0.8 fm and 1.1 fm.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure

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
