With the quantum diffusion approach the unexpected behavior of fusion cross section, angular momentum, and astrophysical S-factor at sub-barrier energies has been revealed. Out of the region of short-range nuclear interaction and action of friction at turning point the decrease rate of the cross section under the barrier becomes smaller. The calculated results for the reactions with spherical nuclei are in a good agreement with the existing experimental data. PACS numbers: 25.70.Ji, 24.10.Eq, 03.65.-w The capture cross section is a sum of partial capture cross sections σ c (E c.m. ) = J σ c (E c.m. , J) = πλ 2 J
The roles of nuclear deformation and neutron transfer in sub-barrier capture process are studied within the quantum diffusion approach. The change of the deformations of colliding nuclei with neutron exchange can crucially influence the sub-barrier fusion. The comparison of the calculated capture cross section and the measured fusion cross section in various reactions at extreme subbarrier energies gives us information about the fusion and quasifission.
We derive quantum diffusion equations with transport coefficients explicitly depending on time from generalized non-Markovian Langevin equations and obtain generalized fluctuation-dissipation relations. We substantiate the axiomatic Lindblad approach in the microscopic model. For non-Markovian dynamics, we find sets of diffusion coefficients that ensure the purity of states at any instant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
