Multi-Nucleon Exchange in Quasi-Fission Reactions

Nucleon exchange mechanism is investigated in the central collisions of ${}^{40}$Ca + ${}^{238}$U and ${}^{48}$Ca + ${}^{238}$U systems near the quasi-fission regime in the framework of the Stochastic Mean-Field (SMF) approach. Sufficiently below the fusion barrier, di-nuclear structure in the collisions is maintained to a large extend. Consequently, it is possible to describe nucleon exchange as a diffusion process familiar from deep-inelastic collisions. Diffusion coefficients for proton and neutron exchange are determined from the microscopic basis of the SMF approach in the semi-classical framework. Calculations show that after a fast charge equilibration the system drifts toward symmetry over a very long interaction time. Large dispersions of proton and neutron distributions of the produced fragments indicate that diffusion mechanism may help to populate heavy trans-uranium elements near the quasi-fission regime in these collisions

Nucleon exchange in heavy-ion collisions within stochastic mean-field approach

Nucleon exchange mechanism is investigated in deep-inelastic symmetric heavy-ion collisions in the basis of the Stochastic Mean-Field approach. By extending the previous work to off-central collisions, analytical expression is deduced for diffusion coefficient of nucleon exchange mechanism. Numerical calculations are carried out for ${}^{40}$Ca + ${}^{40}$Ca and ${}^{90}$Zr + ${}^{90}$Zr systems and the results are compared with the phenomenological nucleon exchange model. Also, calculations are compared with the available experimental results of deep-inelastic collisions between calcium nuclei.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figure

Quantal description of nucleon exchange in stochastic mean-field approach

Nucleon exchange mechanism is investigated in central collisions of symmetric heavy-ions in the basis of the stochastic mean-field approach. Quantal diffusion coefficients for nucleon exchange are calculated by including non-Markovian effects and shell structure. Variances of fragment mass distributions are calculated in central collisions of ${}^{40}$Ca + ${}^{40}$Ca, ${}^{48}$Ca + ${}^{48}$Ca and ${}^{56}$Ni + ${}^{56}$Ni systems

Polarization Beam Splitter Based on Self-Collimation of a Hybrid Photonic Crystal

A photonic crystal polarization beam splitter based on photonic band gap and self-collimation effects is designed for optical communication wavelengths. The photonic crystal structure consists of a polarization-insensitive self-collimation region and a splitting region. TM- and TE-polarized waves propagate without diffraction in the self-collimation region, whereas they split by 90 degrees in the splitting region. Efficiency of more than 75% for TM- and TE-polarized light is obtained for a polarization beam splitter size of only 17 μm x 17 μm in a wavelength interval of 60 nm including 1.55 μm

A Search for pair production of the LSP ντ~\tilde{\nu_{\tau}} at the CLIC via RPV Decays

In this work we consider pair production of LSP tau-sneutrinos at the Compact Lineer Collider. We assume that tau-sneutrinos decays in to e\textmu pair via RPV interactions. Backgroundless subprocess $e{}^{-}e^{+}\rightarrow\tilde{\nu}\bar{\tilde{\nu}}\rightarrow\mu^{+}\mu^{+}e^{-}e^{-}(\mu^{-}\mu^{-}e^{+}e^{+})$ is analyzed in details. Achievable limits on $Br\,(\tilde{\nu}_{\tau}\rightarrow\mu e)$ at $3\sigma$ and $5\sigma$ CL are obtained depending on $\tilde{\nu_{\tau}}$ mass.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure

Quantal Diffusion Description of Multi-Nucleon Transfers in Heavy-Ion Collisions

Employing the stochastic mean-field (SMF) approach, we develop a quantal diffusion description of the multi-nucleon transfer in heavy-ion collisions at finite impact parameters. The quantal transport coefficients are determined by the occupied single-particle wave functions of the time-dependent Hartree-Fock equations. As a result, the primary fragment mass and charge distribution functions are determined entirely in terms of the mean-field properties. This powerful description does not involve any adjustable parameter, includes the effects of shell structure and is consistent with the fluctuation-dissipation theorem of the non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. As a first application of the approach, we analyze the fragment mass distribution in $^{48}\mathrm{Ca}+{}^{238}\mathrm{U}$ collisions at the bombarding energy $E_{\text{c.m.}}=193$ MeV and compare the calculations with the experimental data.Comment: 15 pages, 8 figures, 2 tables. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1706.0356

Merging of transport theory with TDHF: multinucleon transfer in U+U collisions

Multinucleon transfer mechanism in the collision of ${}^{238}\text{U}+{}^{238}\text{U}$ system is investigated at $E_\text{c.m.} =833$ MeV in the framework of the quantal diffusion description based on the stochastic mean-field approach (SMF). Double cross-sections $\sigma(N,Z)$ as a function of the neutron and proton numbers, the cross-sections $\sigma(Z)$ and $\sigma(A)$ as a function of the atomic numbers and the mass numbers are calculated for production of the primary fragments. The calculation indicates the ${}^{238} \text{U}+{}^{238} \text{U}$ system may be located at an unstable equilibrium state at the potential energy surface with a slightly negative curvature along the beta stability line on the $(N,Z)-$plane. This behavior may lead to rather large diffusion along the beta stability direction.Comment: 10 pages, 10 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1904.0961
