Coupled channels and nuclear de-excitation in heavy ion reactions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
A variation on the inward-outward method of solving coupled Schroedinger equations is presented, which facilitates calculations for reactions induced by massive heavy ions in which many channels are open. Application is made to the 340 MeV /sup 40/Ar+/sup 238/U reaction and a new physical phenomenon is predicted: nuclear de-excitation to the elastic channel.
