Proton and neutron exchange as a prelude to fusion at near-barrier energies
J. E. Johnstone, Varinderjit Singh, R. Giri +20
Systematic examination of fusion for K + Si and Ar + Si provides insight into the impact of neutron and proton exchange on fusion for nuclei…
Exploring Zeptosecond Quantum Equilibration Dynamics: From Deep-Inelastic to Fusion-Fission Outcomes in Ni+Ni Reactions
E. Williams, K. Sekizawa, D. J. Hinde +10
Energy dissipative processes play a key role in how quantum many-body systems dynamically evolve towards equilibrium. In closed quantum systems, such processes are attributed to th…
Entrance Channel Effects on the Quasifission Reaction Channel in Cr + W Systems
K. Hammerton, D. J. Morrissey, Z. Kohley +14
Background: Formation of a fully equilibrated compound nucleus is a critical step in the heavy-ion fusion reaction mechanism but can be hindered by orders of magnitude by quasifiss…
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…
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…
Effects of Nuclear Structure on Quasi-fission
Cédric Simenel, A. Wakhle, Benoît Avez +6
The quasi-fission mechanism hinders fusion of heavy systems because of a mass flow between the reactants, leading to a re-separation of more symmetric fragments in the exit channel…
Quantum microscopic approach to low-energy heavy ion collisions
Cédric Simenel, A. Wakhle, Benoît Avez
The Time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory is applied to the study of heavy ion collisions at energies around the Coulomb barrier. The competition between fusion and nucleon tra…
Investigation of the role of shell structure in quasi-fission mass distributions
D. J. Hinde, R. du Rietz, R. G. Thomas +8
Systematic measurements of mass-ratio distributions for fission following collisions of Ti projectiles with even-even target nuclei from Sm to Pb have been m…
Influence of entrance-channel magicity and isospin on quasi-fission
Cédric Simenel, D. J. Hinde, R. Du Rietz +5
The role of spherical quantum shells in the competition between fusion and quasi-fission is studied for reactions forming heavy elements. Measurements of fission fragment mass dist…
Measured g factors and the tidal-wave description of transitional nuclei near A = 100
S. K. Chamoli, A. E. Stuchbery, S. Frauendorf +8
The transient-field technique has been used in both conventional kinematics and inverse kinematics to measure the g factors of the 2+ states in the stable even isotopes of Ru, Pd a…
