We present a microscopic calculation of multi-nucleon transfer reactions employing the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory. In our previous publication [Phys. Rev. C 88, 014614 (2013)], we reported our analysis for the multi-nucleon transfer processes for several systems. Here we discuss effects of particle evaporation processes on the production cross sections. Since particle evaporation processes may not be described adequately by the TDHF calculations, we evaluate them using a statistical model. As an input of the statistical model, excitation energies of the final fragments are necessary. We evaluate them from the TDHF wave function after collisions, extending the particle number projection technique. From the calculation, the particle evaporation effects are found to improve descriptions of the production cross sections. However, the production cross sections are still underestimated for processes where a number of protons are transferred. Possible origins of the discrepancy are discussed.

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 pro
cesses 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 employi
ng 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.
Background: The Density-constraint Time-dependent Hartree-Fock method is currently the tool of choice to predict fusion cross-sections. However, it does not include pairing correlations, which have been found recently to play an important role. Purpo
se: To describe the fusion cross-section with a method that includes the superfluidity and to understand the impact of pairing on both the fusion barrier and cross-section. Method: The density-constraint method is tested first on the following reactions without pairing, $^{16}$O+$^{16}$O and $^{40}$Ca+$^{40}$Ca. A new method is developed, the Density-constraint Time-dependent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method. Using the Gogny-TDHFB code, it is applied to the reactions $^{20}$O+$^{20}$O and $^{44}$Ca+$^{44}$Ca. Results: The Gogny approach for systems without pairing reproduces the experimental data well. The DC-TDHFB method is coherent with the TDHFB fusion threshold. The effect of the phase-lock mechanism is shown for those reactions. Conclusions: The DC-TDHFB method is a useful new tool to determine the fusion potential between superfluid systems and to deduce their fusion cross-sections.
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.
Background: Nuclear fission is a complex large-amplitude collective decay mode in heavy nuclei. Microscopic density functional studies of fission have previously concentrated on adiabatic approaches based on constrained static calculations ignoring d
ynamical excitations of the fissioning nucleus, and the daughter products. Purpose: To explore the ability of dynamic mean-field methods to describe fast fission processes beyond the fission barrier, using the nuclide $^{240}$Pu as an example. Methods: Time-dependent Hartree-Fock calculations based on the Skyrme interaction are used to calculate non-adiabatic fission paths, beginning from static constrained Hartree-Fock calculations. The properties of the dynamic states are interpreted in terms of the nature of their collective motion. Fission product properties are compared to data. Results: Parent nuclei constrained to begin dynamic evolution with a deformation less than the fission barrier exhibit giant-resonance-type behaviour. Those beginning just beyond the barrier explore large amplitude motion but do not fission, whereas those beginning beyond the two-fragment pathway crossing fission to final states which differ according to the exact initial deformation. Conclusions: Time-dependent Hartree-Fock is able to give a good qualitative and quantitative description of fast fission, provided one begins from a sufficiently deformed state.
