Evidence of quasifission in the 180Hg composite system formed in the 68Zn + 112Sn reaction
2021
Abstract For the 68Zn + 112Sn reaction the Coulomb parameter Z 1 Z 2 is equal to 1500 that is close to the threshold value for the appearance of quasifission process. It was found that mass-energy distributions of the reaction fragments differ significantly from those obtained in the 36Ar + 144Sm reaction leading to the formation of the same composite system of 180Hg at similar excitation energies of about 50 MeV. In the case of the reaction with 68Zn ions, the mass distribution of fissionlike fragments has a wide two-humped shape with maximum yields at 70 and 110 u for the light and heavy fragments, respectively, instead of 80 and 100 u observed in the fission of 180Hg formed in the 36Ar +…

Applicability Of The Hauser-Feshbach Approach For The Determination of Astrophysical Reaction Rates
1996
Nuclear Astrophysics requires the knowledge of reaction rates over a wide range of nuclei and temperatures. In recent calculations the nuclear level density - as an important ingredient to the statistical model (Hauser-Feshbach) - has shown the highest uncertainties. In a back-shifted Fermi-gas formalism utilizing an energy-dependent level density parameter and employing microscopic corrections from a recent FRDM mass formula, we obtain a highly improved fit to experimental level densities. The resulting level density is used for determining criteria for the applicability of the statistical model on neutron-induced reactions.
Determination of the neutron electric form factor in the D(e,e′n)p reaction and the influence of nuclear binding
1999
The electric form factor of the neutron GE,n has been determined at the Mainz Microtron MAMI at the low momentum transfer Q2= 0.15 (GeV/c)2 in a measurement of the recoil polarisation ratio Px/Pz in the quasifree reaction D(e,e′n)p. At this Q2 the influence of the nuclear binding is strong. A purely kinematical model is used to get some insight into the effect of the initial Fermi momentum distribution of the neutron. The influence of the final state interaction is determined quantitatively by a model of Arenhovel et al.. After the corresponding corrections a value of GE,n(0.15 (GeV/c)2) = 0.0481±0.0065stat±0.0053syst is obtained.
Covariant description of kinetic freeze out through a finite space-like layer
2005
The problem of Freeze Out (FO) in relativistic heavy ion reactions is addressed. We develop and analyze an idealized one-dimensional model of FO in a finite layer, based on the covariant FO probability. The resulting post FO phase-space distributions are discussed for different FO probabilities and layer thicknesses.
ϕ meson width in the medium from proton induced ϕ production in nuclei
2004
We perform calculations for the production of $\phi$ mesons in nuclei at energies just above threshold and study the $A$ dependence of the cross section. We use results for the $\phi$ selfenergy in the medium obtained within a chiral unitary approach. We find a strong $A$ dependence which is tied to the distortion of the incident proton and to the absorption of the $\phi$ in its way out of the nucleus. The effect of this latter process reduces the cross section in about a factor two in heavy nuclei proving that the $A$ dependence of the cross section bears valuable information on the $\phi$ width in the nuclear medium. Calculations are done for energies which are accessible in an experiment…
Direct neutron capture for magic-shell nuclei.
1995
In neutron capture for magic--shell nuclei the direct reaction mechanism can be important and may even dominate. As an example we investigated the reaction $^{48}$Ca(n,$\gamma)^{49}$Ca for projectile energies below 250\,keV in a direct capture model using the folding procedure for optical and bound state potentials. The obtained theoretical cross sections are in agreement with the experimental data showing the dominance of the direct reaction mechanism in this case. The above method was also used to calculate the cross section for $^{50}$Ca(n,$\gamma)^{51}$Ca.

From R_AA via correlations to jets - the long road to tomography
2009
The main motivation to investigate hard probes in heavy ion collisions is to do tomography, i.e. to infer medium properties from the in-medium modification of hard processes. Yet while the suppression of high P_T hadrons has been measured for some time, solid tomographic information is slow to emerge. This can be traced back to theoretical uncertainties and ambiguities in modelling both medium evolution and parton-medium interaction. Ways to overcome these difficulties are to constrain models better and to focus on more differential observables. Correlations of high P_T hadrons offer non-trivial information beyond what can be deduced from single hadron suppression. They reflect not only the…
