    Energy dissipative processes play a key role in how quantum many-body systems dynamically evolve toward equilibrium. In closed quantum systems, such processes are attributed to the transfer of energy from collective motion to single-particle degrees of freedom; however, the quantum many-body dynamics of this evolutionary process is poorly understood. To explore energy dissipative phenomena and equilibration dynamics in one such system, an experimental investigation of deep-inelastic and fusion-fission outcomes in the 58Ni+60Ni reaction has been carried out. Experimental outcomes have been compared to theoretical predictions using time dependent Hartree-Fock and time dependent random phase approximation approaches, which, respectively, incorporate one-body energy dissipation and fluctuations. Excellent quantitative agreement has been found between experiment and calculations, indicating that microscopic models incorporating one-body dissipation and fluctuations provide a potential tool for exploring dissipation in low-energy heavy ion collisions.

  • Enhanced nucleon transfer in tip collisions of $^{238}$U+$^{124}$Sn Reviewed

    Multinucleon transfer processes in low-energy heavy ion reactions have
    attracted increasing interest in recent years aiming at production of new
    neutron-rich isotopes. Clearly, it is an imperative task to further develop
    understanding of underlying reaction mechanisms to lead experiments to success.
    In this paper, from systematic time-dependent Hartree-Fock calculations for the
    $^{238}$U+$^{124}$Sn reaction, it is demonstrated that transfer dynamics depend
    strongly on the orientations of $^{238}$U, quantum shells, and collision
    energies. Two important conclusions are obtained: (i) Experimentally observed
    many-proton transfer from $^{238}$U to $^{124}$Sn can be explained by a
    multinucleon transfer mechanism governed by enhanced neck evolution in tip
    collisions; (ii) Novel reaction dynamics are observed in tip collisions at
    energies substantially above the Coulomb barrier, where a number of nucleons
    are transferred from $^{124}$Sn to $^{238}$U, producing transuranium nuclei as
    primary reaction products, that could be a means to synthesize superheavy
    nuclei. Both results indicate the importance of the neck (shape) evolution
    dynamics, which are sensitive to the orientations, shell effects and collision
    energies, for exploring possible pathways to produce new unstable nuclei.

  • Novel Role of Superfluidity in Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions Reviewed

    We demonstrate, within symmetry unrestricted time-dependent density
    functional theory, the existence of new effects in low-energy nuclear reactions
    which originate from superfluidity. The dynamics of the pairing field induces
    solitonic excitations in the colliding nuclear systems, leading to qualitative
    changes in the reaction dynamics. The solitonic excitation prevents collective
    energy dissipation and effectively suppresses fusion cross section. We
    demonstrate how the variations of the total kinetic energy of the fragments can
    be traced back to the energy stored in the superfluid junction of colliding
    nuclei. Both contact time and scattering angle in non-central collisions are
    significantly affected. The modification of the fusion cross section and
    possibilities for its experimental detection are discussed.

    Background: At the forefront of the nuclear science, production of new
    neutron-rich isotopes is continuously pursued at accelerator laboratories all
    over the world. To explore the currently-unknown territories in the nuclear
    chart far away from the stability, reliable theoretical predictions are
    inevitable.
    Purpose: To provide a reliable prediction of production cross sections taking
    into account secondary deexcitation processes, both particle evaporation and
    fission, a new method called TDHF+GEMINI is proposed, which combines the
    microscopic time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory with a sophisticated
    statistical compound-nucleus deexcitation model, GEMINI++.
    Results: The method is applied for multinucleon transfer processes in
    low-energy heavy ion reactions. It is shown that the inclusion of secondary
    deexcitation processes, which are dominated by neutron evaporation in the
    present systems, substantially improves agreement with the experimental data.
    The magnitude of the evaporation effects is very similar to the one observed in
    GRAZING calculations. TDHF+GEMINI provides better description of the absolute
    value of the cross sections for channels involving transfer of more than one
    protons, compared with the GRAZING results. However, there remain discrepancies
    between the measurements and the calculated cross sections, indicating a limit
    of the theoretical framework that works with a single mean-field potential.
    Possible causes of the discrepancies are discussed.
    Conclusions: In order to perfectly reproduce experimental cross sections for
    multinucleon transfer processes, one should go beyond the standard
    self-consistent mean-field description. Nevertheless, the proposed method will
    provide valuable information to optimize production mechanisms of new
    neutron-rich nuclei through its microscopic, non-empirical predictions.

  • Solitonic Excitations in Collisions Of Superfluid Nuclei

    Proceedings of Science   281 ( INPC2016 )   214   2017.1

    Language:English  

    We investigate the role of the pairing field dynamics in low-energy heavy ion
    reactions within the nuclear time-dependent density functional theory extended
    to superfluid systems. Recently, we have reported on unexpectedly large effects
    associated with the relative phase of the pairing field of colliding nuclei on
    the reaction outcomes, such as the total kinetic energy and the fusion cross
    section [P. Magierski, K. Sekizawa, and G. Wlaz{\l}owski, arXiv:1611.10261
    [nucl-th]]. We have elucidated that the effects are due to creation of a
    "domain wall" or a "solitonic structure" of the pairing field in the neck
    region, which hinders energy dissipation as well as the neck formation, leading
    to significant changes of the reaction dynamics. The situation nicely mimics
    the one extensively studied experimentally with ultracold atomic gases, where
    two clouds of superfluid atoms possessing different phases of the pairing field
    are forced to merge, creating various topological excitations, quantum vortices
    and solitons, as well as Josephson currents. In this paper, we present
    unpublished results for a lighter system, namely, $^{44}$Ca+$^{44}$Ca. It is
    shown that the pairing effects on the fusion hindrance are rather small in
    lighter systems, due to a strong tendency towards fusion, which is consistent
    with an earlier study.

    The nature of the interaction between superfluid vortices and the neutron
    star crust, conjectured by Anderson and Itoh in 1975 to be at the heart vortex
    creep and the cause of glitches, has been a long-standing question in
    astrophysics. Using a qualitatively new approach, we follow the dynamics as
    superfluid vortices move in response to the presence of "nuclei" (nuclear
    defects in the crust). The resulting motion is perpendicular to the force,
    similar to the motion of a spinning top when pushed. We show that nuclei repel
    vortices in the neutron star crust, and characterize the force as a function of
    the vortex-nucleus separation.

    Background: Multinucleon transfer (MNT) and quasifission (QF) processes are
    dominant processes in low-energy collisions of two heavy nuclei. They are
    expected to be useful to produce neutron-rich unstable nuclei. Nuclear dynamics
    leading to these processes depends sensitively on nuclear properties such as
    deformation and shell structure. Purpose: We elucidate reaction mechanisms of
    MNT and QF processes involving heavy deformed nuclei, making detailed
    comparisons between microscopic time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) calculations
    and measurements for the $^{64}$Ni+$^{238}$U reaction. Methods:
    Three-dimensional Skyrme-TDHF calculations are performed. Particle-number
    projection method is used to evaluate MNT cross sections from the TDHF wave
    function after collision. Results: Fragment masses, total kinetic energy (TKE),
    scattering angle, contact time, and MNT cross sections are investigated for the
    $^{64}$Ni+$^{238}$U reaction. They show reasonable agreements with
    measurements. At small impact parameters, collision dynamics depends
    sensitively on the orientation of deformed $^{238}$U. In tip (side) collisions,
    we find a larger (smaller) TKE and a shorter (longer) contact time. In tip
    collisions, we find a strong influence of quantum shells around $^{208}$Pb.
    Conclusions: It is confirmed that the TDHF calculations reasonably describe
    both MNT and QF processes in the $^{64}$Ni+$^{238}$U reaction. Analyses of this
    system indicates the significance of the nuclear structure effects such as
    deformation and quantum shells in nuclear reaction dynamics at low energies.

    Time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory has achieved a remarkable success
    in describing and understanding nuclear many-body dynamics from nucleons'
    degrees of freedom. We here report our investigation of multinucleon transfer
    (MNT) processes employing the TDHF theory. To calculate transfer probabilities
    for channels specified by the number of protons and neutrons included in
    reaction products, a particle-number projection (PNP) method has been
    developed. The PNP method is also used to calculate excitation energies of
    reaction products. Combined use of the PNP method with a statistical model, we
    can evaluate MNT cross sections taking account of effects of particle
    evaporation. Using these methods, we evaluate MNT cross sections for
    $^{40,48}$Ca+$^{124}$Sn, $^{40}$Ca+$^{208}$Pb, and $^{58}$Ni+$^{208}$Pb
    reactions. From systematic analyses, we find that cross sections for channels
    with a large reaction probability are in good agreement with experimental data.
    However, the agreement becomes less accurate as the number of transferred
    nucleons increases. Possible directions to improve the description are
    discussed.

The total kinetic energy loss (TKEL) spectrum and angular distribution of reaction products have been measured. The Q value and angle integrated cross sections are deduced. Angular distributions for the elastically scattered 18O particles are also measured. Fully microscopic time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) calculations, based on the independent single-nucleon transfer mode, have been carried out and are compared with experimental data of multinucleon transfer reactions. The TDHF calculations provide reasonable agreement with the experimental data for cases where one- and two-nucleon transfer is involved; the discrepancy is large for multinucleon transfer reactions.

    Background: The time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory has been successful
    in describing low-energy heavy ion collisions. Recently, we have shown that
    multinucleon transfer processes can be reasonably described in the TDHF theory
    combined with the particle-number projection technique. Purpose: In this work,
    we propose a theoretical framework to analyze properties of reaction products
    in TDHF calculations. Methods: TDHF calculation in three-dimensional Cartesian
    grid representation combined with particle number projection method. Results:
    We develop a theoretical framework to calculate expectation values of operators
    in the TDHF wave function after collision with the particle-number projection.
    To show how our method works in practice, the method is applied to
    $^{24}$O+$^{16}$O collisions for two quantities, angular momentum and
    excitation energy. The analyses revealed following features of the reaction:
    The nucleon removal proceeds gently, leaving small values of angular momentum
    and excitation energy in nucleon removed nuclei. Contrarily, nuclei receiving
    nucleons show expectation values of angular momentum and excitation energy
    which increase as the incident energy increases. Conclusions: We have developed
    a formalism to analyze properties of fragment nuclei in the TDHF theory
    combined with the particle-number projection technique. The method will be
    useful for microscopic investigations of reaction mechanisms in low-energy
    heavy ion collisions as well as for evaluating effects of particle evaporation
    on multinucleon transfer cross sections.

  • Strong Orientation Dependence of Multinucleon Transfer Processes in $^{238}$U+$^{124}$Sn Reaction

    Language:English   Publisher:The Physical Society of Japan  

    We theoretically investigate multinucleon transfer (MNT) processes in
    $^{238}$U+$^{124}$Sn reaction at $E_\mathrm{lab}=5.7$ MeV/$A$ using the
    time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory. For this reaction, measurements of
    MNT processes have been reported, showing substantial MNT cross sections
    accompanying more than ten protons. From the calculation, we find that the
    amount of transferred nucleons depends much on the relative orientation between
    the deformation axis of $^{238}$U and the relative vector connecting centers of
    $^{238}$U and $^{124}$Sn nuclei. We find a formation of thick neck when the
    $^{238}$U collides from its tip with $^{124}$Sn. However, the neck formation is
    substantially suppressed when $^{238}$U collides from its side. We have found
    that a large number of protons are transferred in the tip collision. This is
    caused by the breaking of the neck and subsequent absorption of nucleons in the
    neck region. We thus conclude that the measured MNT processes involving about
    ten protons originate from the neck breaking dynamics in the tip collisions of
    a deformed $^{238}$U nucleus.

    Multinucleon transfer processes in heavy-ion reactions at energies slightly
    above the Coulomb barrier are investigated in a fully microscopic framework of
    the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory. Transfer probabilities are
    calculated from the TDHF wave function after collision using the projection
    operator method which has recently been proposed by Simenel (C. Simenel, Phys.
    Rev. Lett. 105, 192701 (2010)). We show results of the TDHF calculations for
    transfer cross sections of the reactions of $^{40,48}$Ca+$^{124}$Sn at
    $E_{lab}=$ 170, 174 MeV, $^{40}$Ca+$^{208}$Pb at $E_{lab}=$ 235, 249 MeV, and
    $^{58}$Ni+$^{208}$Pb at $E_{lab}=$ 328.4 MeV, for which measurements are
    available. We find the transfer processes show different behaviors depending on
    the $N/Z$ ratios of the projectile and the target, and the product of the
    charge numbers, $Z_P Z_T$. When the projectile and the target have different
    $N/Z$ ratios, fast transfer processes of a few nucleons towards the charge
    equilibrium of the initial system occur in reactions at large impact
    parameters. As the impact parameter decreases, a neck formation is responsible
    for the transfer. A number of nucleons are transferred by the neck breaking
    when two nuclei dissociate, leading to transfers of protons and neutrons in the
    same direction. Comparing cross sections by theory and measurements, we find
    the TDHF theory describes the transfer cross sections of a few nucleons
    reasonably. As the number of transferred nucleons increases, the agreement
    becomes less accurate. The TDHF calculation overestimates transfer cross
    sections accompanying a large number of neutrons when more than one proton are
    transferred. Comparing our results with those by other theories, we find the
    TDHF calculations give qualitatively similar results to those of direct
    reaction models such as GRAZING and Complex WKB.

    Language:English   Publishing type:Master’s thesis  

    Multi-nucleon transfer reaction is investigated employing the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory. In the framework of the TDHF theory, a nucleus-nucleus collision is described microscopically with time-dependent single-particle orbitals. Each nucleon moves under the time-dependent mean-field potential which comes from all the nucleons belonging to the two colliding nuclei. The final many-body wave function after collision may be determined uniquely for a given initial condition.<br />
    <br />
    To calculate nucleon transfer cross sections, it is necessary to evaluate nucleon transfer probabilities for each impact parameter and incident energy. In the field of atomic physics, the method to evaluate electron transfer probabilities for the collision between a highly charged ion and an atom has been proposed. However, this method requires 2A times calculations of the determinants (here, A is the total number of particles of the system) to obtain all of possible transfer probabilities. Hence, it is not possible to apply the method to heavy-ion collision where more than a hundred of nucleons participate in the transfer processes because of computational difficulty. Recently, a useful method ha

  • Kinetic energy dissipation and fluctuations in strongly-damped heavy-ion collisions within the stochastic mean-field approach

    Sakir Ayik, Kazuyuki Sekizawa

    Physical Review C   2020.9

     More details

    Background: Microscopic mean-field approaches have been successful in
    describing the most probable reaction outcomes in low-energy heavy-ion
    reactions. However, those approaches are known to severely underestimate
    dispersions of observables around the average values that has limited their
    applicability. Recently it has been shown that a quantal transport approach
    based on the stochastic mean-field (SMF) theory significantly improves the
    description, while its application has been limited so far to fragment mass and
    charge dispersions.
    Purpose: In this work, we extend the quantal transport approach based on the
    SMF theory for relative kinetic energy dissipation and angular momentum
    transfer in low-energy heavy-ion reactions.
    Results: As the first application of the proposed formalism, we consider the
    radial linear momentum dispersion, neglecting the coupling between radial and
    angular momenta. We analyze the total kinetic energy (TKE) distribution of
    binary reaction products in the $^{136}$Xe+$^{208}$Pb reaction at
    $E_\mathrm{c.m.}=526$ MeV and compare with experimental data. From time
    evolution of single-particle orbitals in TDHF, the radial diffusion coefficient
    is computed on a microscopic basis, while a phenomenological treatment is
    introduced for the radial friction coefficient. By solving the quantal
    diffusion equation for the radial linear momentum, the dispersion of the radial
    linear momentum is obtained, from which one can construct the TKE distribution.
    We find that the calculations provide a good description of the TKE
    distribution for large values of energy losses, TKEL $\gtrsim$ 150 MeV.
    However, the calculations underestimate the TKE distribution for smaller energy
    losses. Further studies are needed to improve the technical details of
    calculations.

    Time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory (or TDEDF, TDDFT) has shown remarkable successes in describing complex nuclear dynamics microscopically from nucleonic degrees of freedom. However, the well-known drawback is that the width of fragment mass distribution in deep-inelastic reactions is severely underestimated within the TDHF approach. Here we show, that the description can be dramatically improved by including one-body fluctuation, based on a prescription of Balian and Vénéroni, which may be comparable to TDRPA. In this contribution, the case of deep-inelastic 58,60Ni+60Ni reactions will be presented, in the light of detailed experimental/theoretical analyses.

    In spite of the known great importance of the pairing in nuclear structure studies, the effect of pairing on nuclear dynamics has rarely been investigated to date. We attack this problem by applying a microscopic dynamic approach, Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) extended for superfluid systems with local treatment of pairing, known as Time-Dependent Superfluid Local Density Approximation (TDSLDA) (see, e.g., [1]). Its application started only very recently with top-tier supercomputers. In this talk, I will first digest the theoretical framework of TDSLDA and its applications to a variety of nuclear dynamics: giant resonances [2,3], fission [4,5], heavy-ion reactions [6], and superfluid vortices in the inner crust of neutron stars [7]. Especially, I will put special focus on dynamics of quantized vortices in the presence of nuclear impurities [7], which govern vortex pinning mechanism at the heart of the pulsar glitch phenomenon, a sudden change of the rotational frequency of a neutron star (see, e.g., [8]).
