Time-dependent Hartree-Fock collisions of /sup 16/O+/sup 93/Nb at E/sub lab/=204 MeV

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
Time-dependent Hartree-Fock computations are performed for the /sup 16/O+/sup 93/Nb system at a laboratory bombarding energy of 204 MeV. We employ an approximation in which the components of the wave functions perpendicular to the reaction plane are held constant in time. At this energy the total reaction cross section is comprised of approximately equal amounts of fusion and deep inelastic scattering. Fusion is found for those entrance channel angular momenta between l=31h and l=75h; strongly damped inelastic scattering is found above and below this region. The angular momentum excited in the inelastic fragments is shown to have a different character in the different inelastic branches and this behavior could conceivably be used as a test to experimentally prove or disprove the existence of the fusion window.
