Abstract

We discuss equilibration times and isospin effect for various quanti- ties in low-energy heavy-ion reactions. These include equilibration of mass, isospin, and total kinetic energy (TKE) in quasifission and deep-inelastic reactions. The calculations are performed using the time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory. The in- fluence of shell effects on the equilibration times are also discussed in the context of theoretical and experimental results.

Quasifission Dynamics in Microscopic Theories

Journal Article Godbey, Kyle ; Umar, A. S. - Frontiers in Physics

In the search for superheavy elements quasifission reactions represent one of the reaction pathways that curtail the formation of an evaporation residue. In addition to its importance in these searches quasifission is also an interesting dynamic process that could assist our understanding of many-body dynamical shell effects and energy dissipation thus forming a gateway between deep-inelastic reactions and fission. This manuscript gives a summary of recent progress in microscopic calculations of quasifission employing time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory and its extensions.

Equilibration dynamics in nuclear reactions

Journal Article Umar, A. S. ; Simenel, C. ; Ayik, S. ; ... - EPJ Web of Conferences

We discuss the equilibration dynamics and time–scales for various quantities that are connected to the experimentally observable entities. These include the study of mass, isospin, and total kinetic energy (TKE)equilibration time–scales as well as the time–scale for fluctuations.

Description of the multinucleon transfer mechanism for Ca 48 + Pu 244 and Kr 86 + Pt 198 reactions in a quantal transport approach

Journal Article Arik, M. ; Ayik, S. ; Yilmaz, O. ; ... - Physical Review. C

Multinucleon transfer (MNT) reactions involving heavy projectile and target combinations stand as a promising method for synthesizing new neutron-rich exotic nuclei, which may not be possible using hot or cold fusion reactions or fragmentation. Exploring the mechanisms behind MNT reactions is essential and it requires a comprehensive theoretical framework that can explain the physical observables in these reactions. This work aims to show that the quantal diffusion approach based on the stochastic mean-field (SMF) theory is capable of explaining the reaction dynamics observed in MNT reactions.

Quantal diffusion approach for multinucleon transfer processes in the ^58,64Ni + ²⁰⁸Pb reactions: Toward the production of unknown neutron-rich nuclei

Journal Article Sekizawa, Kazuyuki ; Ayik, Sakir - Physical Review C

In recent years, substantial efforts have been made for the study of multinucleon transfer reactions at energies around the Coulomb barrier both experimentally and theoretically, aiming at the production of unknown neutron-rich heavy nuclei. It is crucial to provide reliable theoretical predictions based on microscopic theories with sufficient predictive power. Purpose: This article aims to clarify the applicability of the quantal diffusion approach based on the stochastic mean-field (SMF) theory for multinucleon transfer processes. Isotope production cross sections are evaluated for the reactions of ⁶⁴Ni + ²⁰⁸Pb at E_c.m. = 268 MeV and ⁵⁸Ni + ²⁰⁸Pb at E_c.m. = 270more »« less

Dynamics of quasifission

Journal Article Umar, A. S., E-mail: umar@compsci.cas.vanderbilt.edu ; Oberacker, V. E. ; Simenel, C. - AIP Conference Proceedings

Quasifission is the primary reaction mechanism that limits the formation of superheavy nuclei and consequently an important ingredient for choosing the best target-projectile combinations for the heavy element searches. Quasifission is characterized by nuclear contact-times that are much longer than those found in deep-inelastic reactions, resulting in a substantial mass and charge transfer. In this manuscript we employ the fully microscopic time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory to study quasifission. New results are presented for the {sup 48}Ca+{sup 249}Bk system.
