Role of different Skyrme forces and surface corrections in exotic cluster decay

Abstract

We present cluster-decay studies of 56 Ni * formed in heavy-ion collisions using different Skyrme forces. Our study reveals that different Skyrme forces do not alter the transfer structure of fractional yields significantly. The cluster decay half-lives of different clusters lie within ±10% for preformed cluster models (PCM) and ±15% for unified fission models (UFM).

Role of Different Model Ingredients in the Exotic Cluster-Decay of 56Ni*

“…Whereas, for UFM, we begin at R a and end at R b , both corresponding to V (R a ) = V (R b ) = Q eff . We have chosen only the case of the variable Q eff (as taken in [44]) for different cluster decay products to satisfy the arbitrarily chosen relation Q eff = 0.4(28− | Q out |) MeV, as it is more realistic [45]. The scattering potential with the SM Fermi density parameters is also plotted for comparison.…”
