Finite Temperature Nuclear Response in Extended Random-Phase Approximation

Abstract

The nuclear collective response at finite temperature is investigated for the first time in the quantum framework of the small amplitude limit of the extended TDHF approach, including a non-Markovian collision term. It is shown that the collision width satisfies a secular equation. By employing a Skyrme force, the isoscalar monopole, isovector dipole and isoscalar quadrupole excitations in ${}^{40}Ca$ are calculated and important quantum features are pointed out. The collisional damping due to decay into incoherent 2p-2h states is small at low temperatures but increases rapidly at higher temperatures.
