Effect of Pauli repulsion and transfer on fusion
C. Simenel, K. Godbey, A. S. Umar +4
The effect of the Pauli exclusion principle on the nucleus-nucleus bare potential is studied using a new density-constrained extension of the Frozen-Hartree-Fock (DCFHF) technique.…
How the Pauli exclusion principle affects fusion of atomic nuclei
C. Simenel, A. S. Umar, K. Godbey +2
The Pauli exclusion principle induces a repulsion between composite systems of identical fermions such as colliding atomic nuclei. Our goal is to study how heavy-ion fusion is impa…
Interplay between quantum shells and orientation in quasi-fission
A. Wakhle, C. Simenel, D. J. Hinde +5
The quasi-fission mechanism hinders fusion in heavy systems through breakup within zeptoseconds into two fragments with partial mass equilibration. Its dependence on the structure…
Microscopic study of the effect of intrinsic degrees of freedom on fusion
C. Simenel, M. Dasgupta, D. J. Hinde +3
Fusion cross-sections are computed for the CaCa system over a wide energy range with two microscopic approaches where the only phenomenological input is the Skyrme e…
Microscopic approach to coupled-channels effects on fusion
C. Simenel, M. Dasgupta, D. J. Hinde +1
Background: Near-barrier fusion can be strongly affected by the coupling between relative motion and internal degrees of freedom of the collision partners. The time-dependent Hartr…
Probing quantum many-body dynamics in nuclear systems
C. Simenel, M. Dasgupta, D. J. Hinde +2
Quantum many-body nuclear dynamics is treated at the mean-field level with the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory. Low-lying and high-lying nuclear vibrations are studied us…
