Adiabatic nucleus-nucleus potential at near-barrier energies from selfconsistent calculations
Abstract
Adiabatic fusion potentials, extended well into compound nucleus region, are calculated for a number of reactions within the static Hartree-Fock method with the Skyrme SkM* interaction. The calculated fusion barriers agree quite well with the data, in spite of considerable errors in reaction Q values. This suggests some error cancellation, possibly with the relative kinetic energy term. Calculated berrier heights are consistent with the idea of fusion hindrance in tip collisions. Adiabatic potentials differ considerably from the results of the frozen density approximation. We briefly discuss relative positions and heights of the fusion and fission potentials and speculate on their possible connection with the fusion hindrance for large Zt Zp.
