Potential barriers and Landau-Zener promotion in the inelastic excitation of 17O by 13C ions
(1986)
- The inelastic excitation of the (1/2)+ (871 keV) state of 17O in the reaction of 13C on 17O is described by a time-dependent quantum mechanical model with two diabatic states and a classical treatment of the radial relative motion. The structures in the angle-integrated cross section are interpreted as caused by the barriers of the angular momentum-dependent potentials. The transition strength is enhanced by the Landau-Zener effect between the levels considered.

Molecular single-particle excitations in heavy-ion reactions involving deformed light nuclei
(1982)
- Two-center level diagrams for the neutron orbitals in the scattering of 16O on 25Mg and of 17O on 24Mg are calculated by using a deformed potential for 24,25Mg. Possible consequences of the nuclear Landau-Zener mechanism, namely the promotion of nucleons at avoided level crossings, and of the rotational coupling between crossing molecular single-particle orbitals are studied for inelastic excitation and neutron transfer. The important excitation and transfer processes, which are enhanced by the promotion process and the rotational coupling, are presented. NUCLEAR REACTIONS Heavy ion scattering, theory of nucleon transfer, molecular wave functions, asymmetric two center shell model, single particle excitation, deformed nuclei.

Quasimolecular states in the 12C-12C system
(1977)
- Quasimolecular resonance structures in the 12C-12C system are studied in the framework of the coupled channel formalism in the energy range Ec.m.=5-14 MeV. The influence of the coupling of the first excited 2+ state in 12C on the resonance structures is investigated by choosing various types of coupling potentials. The intermediate structures in the reflection and transition coefficients and cross sections can be interpreted with the double resonance mechanism. NUCLEAR REACTIONS 12C(12C, 12C), quasimolecular states, coupling potentials, coupled channel calculations for σ(θ).

Theory of nucleon transfer in the dynamical two-center shell model
(1979)
- The theory of nucleon transfer in heavy ion reactions is formulated on the basis of the molecular particlecore model for a system consisting of two cores and one extracore nucleon. The extracore nucleon is described by the molecular wave functions of the asymmetric two-center shell model. The cores, which are assumed to be collectively excitable, are treated with vibrator-rotator models. Potentials for shape polarization are contained in the asymmetric two-center shell model and the interaction between the cores. The excitation and transfer of the extracore nucleon is induced by the radial and rotational couplings. The coupled channel equations, which include the recoil effects in first approximation, are derived in a form suitable for numerical calculations of cross sections. NUCLEAR REACTIONS Heavy ion scattering, theory of nucleon transfer, molecular wave functions, two-center shell model, collective and single-particle excitation.
