Web of Conf", "categories": [ "nucl-th" ], "abstract": "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. A good understanding of the competition between fusion and quasi-fission mechanisms is expected to be of great help to optimize the formation and study of heavy and superheavy nuclei. Quantum microscopic models, such as the time-dependent Hartree-Fock approach, allow for a treatment of all degrees of freedom associated to the dynamics of each nucleon. This provides a description of the complex reaction mechanisms, such as quasi-fission, with no parameter adjusted on reaction mechanisms. In particular, the role of the deformation and orientation of a heavy target, as well as the entrance channel magicity and isospin are investigated with theoretical and experimental approaches.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-10-03T09:39:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "nuclear structure", "quasi-fission mechanism hinders fusion", "quantum microscopic models", "time-dependent hartree-fock approach", "complex reaction mechanisms" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1051/epjconf/20123809001" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1189218, "adsabs": "2012EPJWC..3809001S" } } }
