Using TDHF to study quasifission dynamics
A. S. Umar, C. Simenel
We show that the microscopic TDHF approach provides an important tool to shed some light on the nuclear dynamics leading to the formation of superheavy elements. In particular, we…
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…
Dependence of fusion on isospin dynamics
K. Godbey, A. S. Umar, C. Simenel
We introduce a new microscopic approach to calculate the dependence of fusion barriers and cross-sections on isospin dynamics. The method is based on the time-dependent Hartree-Foc…
Fusion and quasifission dynamics in the reactions Ca+Bk and Ti+Bk using TDHF
A. S. Umar, V. E. Oberacker, C. Simenel
Background: Synthesis of superheavy elements (SHE) with fusion-evaporation reactions is strongly hindered by the quasifission (QF) mechanism which prevents the formation of an equi…
Sensitivity of the fusion cross section to the density dependence of the symmetry energy
P. -G. Reinhard, A. S. Umar, P. D. Stevenson +3
It is the aim of this paper to discuss the impact of nuclear fusion on the EOS. This is a timely subject given the expected availability of increasingly exotic beams at rare isotop…
