Toward the microscopic theoretical description for large amplitude collective dynamics, we calculate the coefficients of inertial masses for low-energy nuclear reactions. Under the scheme of energy density functional, we apply the adiabatic self-consistent collective coordinate (ASCC) method, as well as the Inglis' cranking formula to calculate the inertias for the translational and the...
Nuclear reactions induced at a few tens of MeV/u are generally governed by the compound and pre-equilibrium processes. During these processes the kinetic energy of a projectile is dissipated into other nucleons in a target. Such energy-dissipation reactions are expected to be a useful tool to produce neutron-deficient nuclei. The present experiment studied the 93Zr+p reaction at 27...
Cluster correlation is an important concept in nuclear physics
especially for light nuclei. Alpha cluster structures are expected to emerge near the alpha-decay threshold energies. We are interested in the cluster structures in p- and sd-shell nuclei, and experimentally examine them.
The alpha cluster structures are also deeply related to the nucleosynthesis in the universe because 4He is...
