Azimuthal angle dependence of the Coulomb barrier parameters for the interaction between two deformed nuclei
- Physics Department, Faculty of Science, Cairo University, Giza (Egypt)
The azimuthal angle ({phi}) dependence of the Coulomb barrier parameters (height V{sub b} and position R{sub b}) are studied in the framework of the double-folding model with the realistic M3Y nucleon-nucleon interaction. Different pairs of axially symmetric, deformed nuclei are considered. For the interaction between medium and heavy nuclei, the maximum percentage of {phi} dependence is studied as a function of relative orientations of the interacting nuclei. It appreciably increases as the values of the deformation parameters increase and is sensitive to the hexadecapole deformation. The smallest {phi} variation is found for the relative orientations {theta}{sub P}={theta}{sub T}=90 deg. The {phi} variation of the Coulomb barrier parameters, as calculated in the present paper, is completely different in both magnitude and behavior from those deduced in the widely used proximity approach.
