TDHF investigations of the U+U quasifission process

Abstract

The use of actinide collisions have been suggested as a way to produce neutron rich isotopes of high Z nuclei. The collision dynamics of these reactions can be studied using unrestricted time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) calculations. Here, we report on the recent studies of quasifission for the $^{238}$U+$^{238}$U system.Comment: Presented at the XXXV Mazurian Lakes Conference on Physics, Piaski, Poland, September 3-9, 2017
