Motivation: Calculation of sequential fission after deep inelastic collisions of 238U on 238U, Exp.:Glässel,von Harrach, Specht et al.(1979)

Needed: Excitation energy and angular momentum of primary fragments. These quantities depend strongly on deformation and initial orientation of 238U.

Siwek-Wilczynska and Wilczynski (1976) showed that the distribution of final kinetic energy versus scattering angle depends on deformation. Modification of potential in exit channel.

Leading deformation of ellipsoidal shapes is the quadrupole deformation and is taken into account up to quadratic terms. Monopole and hexadecupole terms can be expressed as

6. Summary and conclusions

We considered classically described, deep inelastic collisions of deformed nuclei and applied the formalism to the collisions of 238U + 238U at Elab=7.42 MeV/ amu.

The internuclear potential, the densities of nuclei and the friction forces are written by using Gaussian functions and can be solved for arbitrary directed and deformed nuclei.

Page 51: Nuclear deformation  in deep inelastic  collisions of U + U

Quantum mechanical studies lead to coupled channel calculations. Such calculations are only practically possible for light nuclei, for example 12C + 12C.

Shell effects for arbitrary oriented nuclei can be calculated with the new two–center shell model of A. Diaz Torres. But for heavy nuclei this model needs large numerical computations.

Page 52: Nuclear deformation  in deep inelastic  collisions of U + U

Here, we only studied ellipsoidally deformed nuclei. Also important is the extension of the theory to odd deformation degrees of freedom of the nuclear densities (octupole deformation of the nuclei). We propose to use shifted quadratic surfaces with middle points at .

D.G.

The same formalism is possible. Also the treatment of the neck degree of freedom is needed.
