Fission life-time calculation using a complex absorbing potential

Abstract

A comparison between the semi-classical approximation and the full quantum calculation with a complex absorbing potential is made with a model of the fission of 258Fm. The potential barrier is obtained with the constrained Skyrme HF+BCS theory. The life-time obtained by the two calculations agree with each other the difference being only by 25%.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, Conference proceedings of CNR*15 workshop, Tokyo, October 2015 to be published in EPJ Web of Conference
